Title: Painting 71 Mach 1 steel wheels
Post by: Ashley on November 11, 2014, 12:48:49 AM

Anyone know what type and gloss level of paint to use on steel wheels for 71 Mustang?  Car has caps and trim rings.    Thanks,   Ashley

Could not find a reference listing the original color - my best guess would be what was referred to as dark argent - same color though pretty flat as used on the grill and on the side cladding of a 70 Mach I

Hope this helps a little

  Thanks Jeff for reply, remaining paint on rims appears to be as you described.
