Rally II back color
 

What color paint was used on the back portion of the Rally II's in 1970?

If i remember right it was a mouse grey. Please let it be known i am not the guy that knows it all though. I think i might have an original wheel around here somewhere. I will find it and post a pic.

charcoal grey,,,argent silver on spokes and edge of rim.

The back color of "gray" changed at least three times during the near 28 model year production of all 34 different codes of Rally II wheels. Have gone tons of rally II wheels, & on thevroad, exaed multiple thousands of original paint OEM Rally II wheels, piecing way too many sets together. Besides all the parts & project cars, used to regularly hit tire & wheel shops several times a month.

In the morning, will look at several original JLs & JT's out in the building, do not believe there is any difference in the shade of gray on the insides between a '69 JA, an early 70 model JL, or a late '70-early 71 model JT, just the different colors of fogged ID bands around the centers of each wheel.

I don't know the original paint code, but a real close match is Rustoleum Light Machine Gray.

Thanks, everyone for the input.

I concur that it was a light grey, and not a colour with any metallic in it.

Don't know if it helps much but at least gives a visual. This is the never mounted spare from one of my 70 TA's.

Here it is

Thanks, 70TA, pictures are always appreciated.

I painted mine Ford Dove Gray single stage as some others have recommended in other threads.

I'll second this color. It's not 100 % but damn close. I have an original spare KR wheel and it's just a hair lighter. The spray paint is lighter than the original wheel.
