Does anyone know what color paint [charcoal] goes on '66 Styled Steel wheels? I can get it at a Mustang speciality shop but it is expensive. Is there a color I could use from the local auto parts store that is close? Anyone?

Thanks in Advance,

Scott

'Cast' is the color that seems to be the closest match at most auto parts stores.

Yeah, be careful here. I got mine from a Mustang vendor; it was the Rainbow brand. It peeled the original paint right off the wheel. Had a VERY difficult time getting it to work with the original paint. I'm sure it is a enamal/lacquer compatibility issue. My wheels are aftermarket (brand unknown) manufactured in 1991. Color match is slightly darker, too.
