Started on my AZ rims today.
Media blasted them and then painted the backs semi gloss black paint.
Tomorrow I’ll paint the front in a bc/cc custom mix to duplicate the argent silver with green hue that was common on 1969,70,71 corvettes.
I have a NOS 1969 AZ rim that is in perfect condition and I took it to our local automotive paint store and they matched the color close to perfect.

Also painted my NOS oil pan. Took 3 different Chevy orange paint brands ( VHT, Duplicolor, Seymour ) and sprayed each one on a piece of flat stock steel.
Frankly, they all looked the same.
I tried to match it up to my all original 71 Corvette.
Ended up using VHT hi temp Chevy orange.
