I had my Rostyle wheels on my '73 B powder coated. The silver color was way
off from the original; the matte black was a good match. I went to an
automotive paint store and had them make up the silver spray paint in two
cans based on the color of my spare wheel which had never seen road or sun-
the silver of the original wheel color has a copper-gold tint to it. I then
masked the black and sprayed the silver part of the wheels. The wheels look
like they came from the factory!
