Chis,
I can help you with the paint anyway... Where I work I had to
paint a Ford F 250. When it came time to paint the wheels it dawn-
ed on me how similar the silver looked to the wire wheels I had at
home (in storage for potential use on my car). So I took a sample
of the paint home. This color is quite close. If you were to only
paint half the wheel it wouldn't blend, same for only one wheel on
the same car that had three original wheels on it. But if you used
this paint on all for wheels and parked near another car with the
exact color, I think you'd be hard pressed to notice the difference.
Especially if the car has a different body color, which would alter
anyone's frame of reference...
The Ford company's paint code number is "M6506 G" and the descript-
ion is "1994 FORD TRUCK BRIGHT ARGENT METALLIC". These desriptions
should be able to get you some paint mixed for you at a local auto-
body supply store, or they might have some spray paint cans as well.
If you'd like to know before hand what it looks like ask if they could
point it out to you from the corresponding "CHIP BOOK" of actual
paint samples.
I am of course assuming that wire wheels are the same color as
stock wheels...
