Re: Correct Color for 1970 Z28 Wheels
-----Hey Kid,,,,,,,,You are correct, sir! My eyeballs must have been inside-out. Saw it right away after you posted, but didnt have a clue till then. You guys must have thought I was seeing things, and actually I think I have been. Had a minor operation (per the doc) that doesnt seem so minor and Ive been wolfing down percocets. My bad!!!.........Bill S

Re: Correct Color for 1970 Z28 Wheels
Phil, One of the components of the PPG LAQUER formula is SUEDE ADDITIVE, which achieves the "rough" finish of the Factory Original finish. I cant suggest exactly how to apply with what technique, but I would THIMK the suede additive accomplishes the desired effect.....

Re: Correct Color for 1970 Z28 Wheels
I suspect that is the same Suede Additive that was originally used to paint the top portion of metal dashboards on 69 cars. They have that slightly 'rough' texture.

Re: Correct Color for 1970 Z28 Wheels
[ QUOTE ]
In fact, I will be painting mine soon. Here is a shot of my 70 Z28 original spare tire/rim, showing the color.  I will drop it by my local PPG distributor and have them match it. There is also a rough like texture to it, simulating a cast mag wheel. Anyone know where you can get the trim rings? Paul [/ QUOTE ] I am not sure but the finish on this wheel looks too smooth to be original paint and the shade looks off.

Re: Correct Color for 1970 Z28 Wheels
If you get close it has a rough cast aluminum look to it. I will take some close up shots tomorrow.

Re: Correct Color for 1970 Z28 Wheels
Here are a few pictures of my spare thats never been mounted. It looks a little to gold color but I think that's because the flash went off. The inside if you look close you can see the overspray from the gray paint, showing the gray was painted last and NOT masked. Last pic is one mounted on the car note the correct lug nuts, embossed center cap, 5/8" valve stem hole (70 only up till about may, june) and valve stem extension and original tire.
