Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Take the wheel that you have that is the color you want, and go to your local automotive paint store and they'll match it. They can even load the paint into an aerosol can so you can spray it without a paint gun. Just make sure you get the primer that's compatible. Most of the primers you find in the home improvement stores are lacquer, and if you spray a poly or an enamel over the top, it might lift and wrinkle on you. Better safe than sorry.

I know what you feel like with trying to paint match with the "correct" color spray cans. It rarely ever is "correct". It's good that you won't accept the color unless it's right. If you don't, it'll bother you every time you look at the wheels.
