Chuck, Chevelle SS wheels are 71-72 in this style, 70' were different style, not this paint process or color, agree ?
As to what I used, the PPG suede paint is not rough enough in my experience, but close. Also, the orig finish was hard and quite durable, seldom ever chipped badly or rusted. A lacquer topcoat would not hold up long term or have any durability. I discovered a suede/coarse like additive you can use in urethane clear with flattener, baked in booth and durable like oem. VEEEEERRRRYYYY difficult to hit in the right combo of clear/reducer/hardener/flattener/suede additive that gives the exact finish we want. Lots of mixing and spray out panels to test, lots of material cost. I did them myself and spent about five hours just mixing and in the booth on a Sunday night (the only time my guys can't throw me out). All I can tell you is ...........I got em lookin like they did in 1970.

George,

Chuck is right. The trick is that you need to apply the paint "dry" Kinda like GM did quickly on a moving assembly line. The roughness of the finish was more a product of the quality control process present at GM in the day- or lack there of... . When these wheels got painted they were not looking for a show quility finish.
