Rally Wheel Paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know somebody on here knows the best spray paint (rattle can) that is used on the truck rally wheels. I am trying to redo mine and would like to know what every body uses and likes the best. Thanks

I used "Argent Silver" from Eastwood. It is a perfect match and comes out awesome. I also clear coated mine.

they make a specific spray for wheels and rim and it is argent i dont recall the brand but they sell it at virtually every chain auto parts ive ever been in

melks · 05-18-2012, 09:10 AM

yea argent silver is the correct color code...alot of guys manage to use other silvers from various companies and still pull off the original look. Im currently waiting on a couple cans of argent silver and clear from eastwood at the moment, ill post pictures once my wheels are refinished.

buffle · 05-18-2012, 09:18 AM

I use Krylon Dull Aluminum, I think it looks better than Argent Silver. And it doesn`t flake or peel, and is cheaper.

rwhit57 · 05-18-2012, 01:07 PM

I use Plasti-Kote wheel paint and the color is Steel Wheels #618. It is extremely durable and looks just like the factory Argent Silver.

billysbowties · 05-18-2012, 01:34 PM

Thanks to everyone, I always used argent for my other rallye wheels (the small bolt pattern,camaros,novas,etc.) but I didn't know it was the correct paint for the truck wheels. Thanks again

I can't find the FM149 paint code even on there web site, does it have a particular name or is it in a specific catagory. I like your color the best because its a brighter silver.

great. admittedly my truck is garaged and barely gets wet, but they look great. have done a couple of other wheel jobs on other vehicles and am using it as well

thanks for the reply. i had seen this paint at AZ but had not heard much about it from people restoring their wheels and then found your thread.

Nice truck there truck fan

nascarmikeb · 07-02-2018, 08:36 PM

I plan on doing my rims on 87 GMC same as these. What was the prep work? I plan on sanding smooth, then did anyone use primer? and then paint? Just want to do it right. These rims look great by the way.

Mike

75C10 · 07-02-2018, 10:09 PM

I use red scotchbrite to prep the wheel (works better than sand paper) then wipe off spray argent silver. Little masking tape doesn't hurt.
