Just got my rally wheels back from the sand blaster…they were in pretty bad shape and are going on a driver.

Should the entire wheel be painted rally silver or just the outside?

Any recommendations on favorite brands of rally silver rattle cans?

Thanks!

i used the rallye paint from corvette america on a set of wheels i blasted ~ 8 years ago. they still look perfect imo.

i painted the front and back's silver but i noticed several sets of wheels i blasted had the inners painted black.

Paint the backside black, do it first, then the front side in Silver. The Factory did it that way and to look original, you will have some diver overspray on the black.

I have not used them but I belive that Eastwood and Quanta also have decent products.

Good Luck

Thanks for all the info. I assume the inners black too? Flat Black?
