    Hello,
    want to get my steel wheels and hubcaps painted-looking for the right color.The remaining color is a 'off white' almost eggshell kind of white-is this right,or should it be 'Snow white' ?
    :confused:

    I wasn't going to post b/c I'm not sure but I would guess they were probably a "snow white" originally that has faded over the years. But hey, nothing wrong with flat black either. Just paint them however you think will look the best and make you happy with it.

    No,just making fun-I will not hit them with the rattle can.Yes ,they do exist-bought the rims in Germany,but won the dog dish caps on E-Bay USA.They still have to arrive.I would like to have the truck stock looking.Still need the GMC hood and the GMC tailgate.Some pre owner swapped them for Chevy parts.Almost no chance to find the parts over here.But i will not give up...:cool:
