Brockport Bill 1,499 #1 Posted May 14 hi all -- I scrolled through the past threads but still need some claification and updates? I have early 80's C175 - looking for info what manufacturer and paint color for wheel rims? A cream looking color i used 2 years ago is on the c175 in photo below -- I just used a Rustoleum "almond" and it appears a different color than on these rims?? So what "creamy" rim color are folks using -- in the color family of almond, beige, cream etc - not interested in white. Also are you using satins or gloss etc? thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 20,901 #9 Posted May 16 It’s all personal preference if you ask me. Just don’t paint em bright white ! Here one I like and a comparison next to a white wheel off a Craftsman Garden tractor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,460 #10 Posted May 17 I used Benjamin Moore oil base linen white, sprayed with a gun. I don’t think it’s available in a spray can anymore, I know it used to be. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
