Correct Knock Off Wheel paint

[Craig F.]

I have a set of repo knock offs for my 65 that I purchased about 17 years ago and I believe that they came from Corvette America so from what I have been able to conclude from other threads that they were a Western Wheel product. The paint between the fins is black and I am interested in repainting them the correct color that is correct for 65-66. Some old threads that I reviewed stated that NAPA carried the correct cast blast paint but when I checked that out, they no longer carry that. I was told that it was a Krylon product that is no longer available. Does anyone know who has the correct color paint for these wheels?
Thanks,

[Don H.]

I repainted my direct bolt ons for a '65 with a gray paint from Long Island. Many knowledgeable NCRS people will be able to tell you exactly what the wheel is. 99.9% of the general public does not have a clue. Do what you want. Regards, Don H.

The original finish on the KO's and the hubcaps had a metallic content.
All the vendors supply it.
Incidentally, the dash on my my wife's Lexus ES300 was a perfect match.

I used VHT Cast Iron Nu-Cast (Product# SP-998-C) on my wheels, as recommended to me by Bill Wilhelm. The wheels turned out superbly.
