Argent Silver Wheel Paint?
I just bought new tires and thought I'd freshen up the paint on the wheels. Big Mistake.
The paint I purchased from Corvette America isn't the same color, has too much grey in it and doesn't have the correct gloss. Luckily I only ruined 4 of my 5 wheels. I'm driving the car around today, but every time I look at the wheels, I am reminded that the color is not correct. Kind of a bummer.
Just another example of why I need to stop messing with the car and just drive the darn thing. 
Luckily I have my spare to make sure I get the correct color.

Hello
I had a similar problem with the paint. It didnt turn out the way I wanted, and I gave up on the color match and painted the rims with some left over silver paint. The texture came out better also.
How do you feel each time you look at your rims now? Do you want to start over again.

We have a paint booth here at work and the guys claim they can match the original color exactly. I'll probably bring in my spare and have them mix up some paint for me. Now I'll have to mask my new tires.....
