I'd love to find a set of those wheels for my '72...maybe I'll just steal Gene's. ;)

I painted my 71 SS 5 spoke wheels with a quart of the correct paint sold by Year One. It's perfect. It only comes in quarts, so you have to use a professional spray gun. It comes out a rough dark gray.

Find it on the Year One web site. Part Number QP961

Probably the new stuff is different than the old laquer that they used originally. Shaun, I guess you need something that is resistant to molten rubber!:thumbsup:

I painted the wheels for my '72 with Duplicolor (http://www.duplicolor.com) high performance wheel paint. The color is Graphite (HWP102), I think they turned out pretty good for using a paint found at Autozone. I will most likely strip them down, if they ever start chipping, and get them powdercoated a similar color.
