View Full Version : Repainting Rally Rims
mred91316 Aug 22nd, 06, 10:51 PM Does anyone know where I could get the correct Rally Rims paint in a spray can. I know it "Argent Silver", but I'm looking for a close match color where I could pick it up at my local auto parts supplier.
Thanks

Try some of the resto parts houses, like Rick's or Ground Up.
ProdigyCustoms Aug 23rd, 06, 03:54 AM Krylon Dull Aluminum is damn close, real damn close, and just a couple spray cans at $3 will do it.

That's what I did mine with.
bbd564 Aug 23rd, 06, 04:35 AM Ricks sells OEM Rally wheel spray cans. Works well, looks good but is at least $20 per can
mred91316 Aug 23rd, 06, 11:04 AM Thanks for the feed back. It looks like Krylon Dull Aluminum is my best and cheapest way to go.
Thanks Again.
KevinK7 Aug 24th, 06, 06:06 AM ...another that will vouche for the Krylon Dull Aluminum. Years ago I purchased cans of "Rally Rim Paint" from a parts supplier (no need to mention name), ...and on the bottom of the can (in the laser dotted label), ..."Dull Aluminum".
...I went an extra step and used CLEAR over the paint, ...they turned out great.

I actually used Krylon Silver for my Rallies just a couple of months ago. They used to be Black and I striped them, primed, painted, and cleared them over a couple of days. This is the results, first pic is a shot when they were black.

69L65-4spd Aug 27th, 06, 10:48 PM One more vote for Krylon dull aluminum. Used 2 cans for 4 wheels back in the dark ages of the 80's and they still look good. I still see the Krylon paints but haven't seen the dull alum. in years. Anybody know a retailer that carries that color? Where did you buy yours? I've got a 72 El Camino that will need the wheel painted.

69L65-4spd Aug 29th, 06, 07:26 PM BPOS..............Thanks for the heads up. The $3 cans are more fun tho... That 6$ can would probably be $15 with postage and handling. I'm sure that UPS sticks a haz mat fee on it.
Like retailer, I meant a store box like a Costco, Ace, etc. We only have Wallymart and Kmarts here and they dont carry that color.
Helmut D Aug 29th, 06, 07:53 PM I picked some up at the local Sherwin Williams. Have also seen it at Wall Mart.
mred91316 Aug 31st, 06, 10:43 AM I picked mine up at OSH Hardware Supply for $3.99 a can.
