Unanswered: Painting wheels

I recently bought a '73 GT and would like to repaint the wheels. The black was easy to pick but the silver/gray wasn't so easy. Color and maybe a source? Thanks..

I bought the Eastwood paint for Rally style wheels, but I haven't used it because I think their silver is too dark. If I recall, Dennis from OGTS had a recommendation for the correct silver that was posted on the classicopels list a few years ago.

The best paint for wheels is " Wurth" a little pricey, but well worth it. Comes in different colors. It will last longer than any other paint I've heard about. It is made for wheels. Also on my BMW I have a set of Milie Miglia wheels, When I bought the wheels they had some factory paint. It's really good stuff too. I bought it at Tire Rack. Check with them on availability.
