Wire Wheels - Proper Color

[cvaselaar]

Can anyone advise the proper paint code or color name for the paint color for a 1966 Austin Healey BJ8 wire wheels? If the proper color number/name is not known, what looks best?

Thanks

This is from the SOL tech site

Wheels - Hammered Silver
DITZ# DAR 2593
Duplicolor# FM-149 or T229
Moss # 220-560
Plasticote 1587 (may soften existing paint)

I see you joined the forum in June, and just now made your first post. May I welcome you here, and also mention that had you posed your question in June, your wheels would have been painted by now!
Seriously, welcome, and don't be shy.
I used the Moss paint, and it looks as close to the original as any I have found. Some of the paint is too "shiny", but the stuff I got from Moss had the proper "Metallic Grey" look to it.
It's hard to describe a color verbally.

Do these paint codes also apply to the wire wheels on a '55
100-4?

Hi Francis, For rattle can painting of wire wheels the break down of vendors/paint codes provided by "Patton" above should also be used for the 100-4 cars.However, if you are seeking SS chrome wire wheels the codes I provided will lead you in the right direction too.
