Krylon 1403 Dull Aluminum Metallic Paint -- I have used this and works well for a rattle can paint. TAZ

Wouldn't Krylon dull aluminum be much, much lighter than the dark argent used on SSII wheels?

Krylon dull aluminum is way too bright for the wheels.
As proof you can argue about anything, here's the link to classic olds.... there's a PPG number in there, a recommendation for Fusick's paint, and another comment that the Fusick paint came in an Eastwood can...

dull aluminum is NOT a good choice. That is used in areas suck as headlight housings or taillights. If you are not doing a judged car then the cast iron sprays out there would be closer if you don't want to mix a batch your self.

----I have successfully used 65-66 Corvette knock-off wheel paint from "Long Island Corvette" for the darker portions of Pontiac and Olds rally wheels. They have quarts as well as rattlers.....Bill S

Not all years Olds used the same color paint for the wheels.
1972 was closer to dull aluminum.
