Krylon #1403 Dull Aluminum is the exact match to the original Cragar paint that was fogged in the lug nut pockets. Only comes in spray cans so you will have to transfer that to an airbrush.

A little bit of paint remover and resprayed would look a lot better than the black.

Thanks for the tip!

That flat black would come off with carb cleaner, no big deal.

Kinda looks like an old &quot;Hot Wheels&quot; car with the blacked out lug area. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Here is another nos wheel, albeit dirty. This one has more paint than the other wheel I posted above but gives you an indication on how they looked. I have seem em with little paint and really thick paint with wide coverage. Quality control was not exactly the best back then.
