Where to find Rally Wheel paint?
I'm having trouble finding the correct Rally Wheel spray paint for a 1970 rally wheel which should be: Argrent Silver Gloss with green tint. --- I did however recently purchase a couple of cans of "Rally Wheel Paint" from one of the Corvette suppliers and was mistakenly told that is was correct for a 1970 wheel. Not only was it the WRONG color (silver with NO green tint) but it also was extremely FLAT and rough in texture, just awful !!!! --- I have a local source who (up to now) was able to get the correct color for that year inclusive of the correct gloss finish but unfortunately is no longer available due to the low demand. He is still trying to locate some for me, but I thought I would ask you guys if you have any ideas?
Thank you.
Thank you.

If you have a wheel with the correct color, you can take it to a reputable automotive paint supplier and they should be able to match it. The may not be able to put it in spray cans, but if you get a quart, just buy one of those Pre-Val sprayers. They work great without having to go for a whole paint set up. (You may have to thin down the paint a bit, but that's not a big problem).

I started the same thread, and got nowhere. Custom mix at a paint shop seems to be the only answer.
