Default Rally Wheel Silver paint

There were several GM makes/models that were built with different wheel colors depending on the cars lower body color and those cars used the (dog dish) standard cap.

My experience with the Silver paint used on the 65-67 GTO Rally Wheels over 45 years.

Back in the early 80’s we used Dupli-Color Argent Silver as it was a real close match.

Today the colors on anything need to be spot on like the Factory used.
Post #6 has great advice for the paint needed on the rally wheels.

Below is a set of ‘67 dated Pontiac Rally I wheels with Original Paint.
Someone had installed ‘65 center caps, but otherwise they are legit Survivors.

The term “Silver Textured” was used to describe this color.

You can see the silver overspray and how it landed on the inside of the rim from spraying just the front side.

Comparison of the 55 year old silver paint to wheels I painted 30 years ago.
I like the old Survivor look better.

Last photo is my Original spare in my ‘66. The backside is definitely a gloss black with a slight silver coming through the slots upon close inspection.
