64 Landlord Rim Paint??

[bowhunt4life 385]

I am taking my rims over to the body shop tomorrow for blasting, priming and painting. What color is recommended, obviously not a bright white? Thanks, Chris

I like antique white, ivory or an eggshell white, not bright white. I think there is a thread in the archives about paint color. good luck. jh

Antique white and canvas white are close matches as well as the ones JH posted. Almond, IMHO is too dark for yours.

I use antique white.

Four Rear wheels will be taken over today along with two front wheels and a set of hub caps that are rusted. He is going to blast, prime and paint in antique white the rims adn clean up the hubcaps. I'll probably paint them. I'll post some before and after pics. Cost....$50 I think I am going to make out alright on this one.

I use Rural Kings "Majic" enamel International White (International Harvester) and it comes as close as I've found to date. Here is a sample of a set of front wheels painted.
