Need help locating correct paint for '71 SS wheels. Sent wheels out to a refinisher and they are having trouble matching the finish. The first cut came back all silver.

G,
Do a search in the wheel and tire forum. The paint codes have been posted there several times.

Hi,

According to my restoration guide the wheels should be dark gray. Ditzler DQE-32961, Rinshed Mason 71B16, Dupont 9901L. This information comes from the Chevelle SS Restoration guide by Paul Herd.

Hope this helps ya out..... graemlins/beers.gif

Eastwood makes an aerosol dark charcoal rally wheel paint that Works very well.

Don't trust everything you read in Paul Herd's book. There are a lot of mistakes in that book.
