Correct Wheel Paint for 68

[Jeffrey A.]

In reading the JD Manual is states that the wheel rim are to be painted an unusual sliver color with a pale-greenish hue and the inside of the rim is painted a semi-black and will show signs if the pale-greenish silver paint overspray. Does anyone have a picture of this unusual silver color with a greenish hue because I have no idea what unusual silver color means. Can someone post a picture of the correct color I should paint my rims?
Thank you - Jeff

The only current source I know of for the "greenish hue" argent silver paint is OEM Paint (www.oempaints.com). So, if you get yourself some, you'll know what it looks like. Trying to depict this subtle greenish hue in a photograph isn't really going to work out too well. Plus, since OEM Paint has the "only game in town" I know of, whether or not it's "perfect", it's as close as you're going to get.

Painted the rims for the 68 and they came out great. Thanks for the information. I am mounting the tires I just bought from Kelsy Goodyear recently on sunday. The color came out excellent. Thanks again for the help. Jeff
