Hi All,
Yesterday I suggested NAPA's Argent Aluminum Silver as a TR6 wheel paint.
The match is really great however the cap color is a bright chrome -don't
let it scare you off. I picked up a can today and almost put it back because
of the gleaming chrome cap. Sprayed against the inside of a rim the match
was right on. Whew!
