They matched my Argent and Detail Silver swatches I showed them exactly with a
stock powder they had. I just picked them up yesterday and was really
impressed and dropped them off to have my Dunlops mounted so no pictures yet.
It's amazing how much the clear had yellowed and how "bright" they appear now,
I'm very pleased. They did also blast the wheels first, so they look very
clean, and I was only charged $65 per wheel which I'm happy about as well.

Dave's powder coaters may have matched the color, or may have provided a
powder coat #?? I'll see what I find out from Nittany Powder works. I have
cans of Eastwood Argent from my wire wheel resto to use as a match.

I do have both Argent and Detail silver from Eastwood in spray cans. The
Detail Silver, says "Correct for wire wheels," but swatches look exactly
the
same, side by side. I'll follow up with Eastwoods for the Powder numbers.
Thanks to all for the advice and help, appreciate it.
