Default 1960 red??

I'm building a red 60 does anybody know what paint is used on the wheels? Is it the same as the body or is it a flat or satin finish?
Thanks
Jim

I believe they were dip painted with black enamel. The front section afterwards was painted body color in enamel.

In 62 if the car came w. whitewall tires the wheels were black enamel. I dont know if this applied to the 60 model.

Yes, the back of the wheel is Black and the face would be gloss body color.

The wheel enamel used on the outer face of the wheels was 83-degree gloss.
