Default Re: 70 SS Wheel paint

I will have to check, but I recall our YA wheels as being the lighter gray on the back. Baltimore car. The Oshawa truck plant used to have a wheel paint line until just a few short years ago. The wheels came in painted the base colour and then had the fronts painted on our paint line. Today most wheels are aluminum. I've painted wheels with the rattle can paint and it doesn't last very well. The original paint wasn't a whole lot better. Perhaps a clear coat would seal it. I'm thinking of powder coating the wheels for durability then scuff them and paint them the appropriate colours.
