If you can find it, the closest I have found to unfaded originals
is Duplicolor GM# 7192. If you want to fudge a little to the dark side, which gives the wheel a little more contrast without slapping you in the face, you might like the way Duplicolor T414 looks. I personally believe that if you fudge the charcoal a little darker than original the wheel looks better. It is critical that the argent silver looks like the original if you want a correct look. I prefer the rally wheel paint that Ground up Restorations sells for the Chevrolet rally wheels for the argent silver. Argent silver paint is pretty easy to find at your local Auto supply, but the key is that Rally wheel argent silver should not have any visible metalflake in the paint when it dries. This becomes obvious in bright sunlight. Visible metalflake makes the wheels look "painted". The factory used flake in the argent silver that was so fine that it is not visible even in bright sunlight. The paint that Ground up restorations sells for Chevelle rally wheels is dead nuts correct. The back side should be dove gray which is a solid non metallic color, and argent and charcoal overspray should be present on top of the gray if you want the correct look. To get the correct look, paint the back side of the sheel dove gray first, then paint the argent and charcoal on the front side without masking off the holes between the spokes.
