Ford Argent or Duplicolor "Steel Wheel" paint is a close match and unless you
are trying to match paint for touch-up only it is close enough. In
otherwords if you paint the whole wheel it is good enough for daily purposes.
If you
are going Pebble Beach, maybe not. I use the Duplicolor paint and I am quite
happy with it. Clear coat it afterwards and it will look great.
I don't know if this is the same color as the valve cover and air cleaners
but, again, if you paint them both the same color, who's going to know?
