The replacement I bought may may have been painted. I say this not just because it's duller than my others wheels, but by the looks of the part number. If my junk wheel survives it, I think I'll try some brake fluid on the area, see what happens. If it's painted I'll have it soda blasted.
What tools & materials do you recommend for buffing?

All the early 2 spoke wheels I've seen were like the one from my '69. It's possible that the later wheels were more like those I've seen in vans due to a change in supplier or a running design change. It's also possible that the reason more black wheels seem to have survived is that the black wheels were, as special-K noted in post 11, used in vans from 73-78 and may have been purchased to replace cracked wheels in trucks. Does anyone have additional info?
See post 31 for buffing info.
