Hi Gary,
Try this:
1. Cast Coat Aluminum - Duplicolor Ceramic Engine Paint #DE1650. Steel
wheels, air cleaner, valve cover, WalMart, K-Mart $3.00
2. Silver Steel Wheel Paint - Duplicolor WP316, can be found at WalMart
3. Truck, Van & SUV Paint - Duplicolor #T 229. It's a nice "warm"
silver, just like the original.
I used #1 and was very happy with the results. I attached a pic for
comparison.
Good luck,
Jay
