Correct black paint for stock steel wheels?
I have one good original wheel with almost no wear or weathering and the original black paint seems to be somewhere in the middle of chassis black and gloss black(?) anyone know how I could source correct paint for original wheels in a stock application?

I'd like to know too. I've never read anything in GM literature other than "black." I would've assumed that they'd be the same gloss black used on the body, since two tone trucks used body colored wheels. It makes sense though, that the wheel manufacturer may have used a semi-gloss black and that GM just left them that way unless it was a two toned truck. Hopefully someone can enlighten us.

A quality semi-gloss black will get you close. I'm not even sure if the factory was totally consistent on the level of gloss used on standard wheels. I can tell you it's not high gloss, and not satin either, but somewhere in between.

Agreed, the middle, kinda.... Seems to be shade just slightly flatter than gloss. I might just hit the paint supplier and ask for just that. Steve weim55 Colorado |
