Default '70 Nova 5 spoke SS wheel resto

I am restoring the SS wheels on my '70 Nova and having trouble determining the shade and gloss of the black and silver on the spokes. Dove grey seems to be the best choice for the rim and back of the wheel. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks, John.

There was a recent lengthy discussion on this over at Team Chevelle, including some photos of NOS and unrestored SS wheels.

Thanks for the link, nothing really definitive but lots of good info. It looks like SEMS trim black will work along with Argent Silver.
John.

To be true to the original,paint the entire front surface Argent silver,then hit the 5 inserts with the Off black.
