Default Rally Wheel refinish

I've got a set of AZ rally wheels - that are not a date-matched set, no surprise considering what I found in pulling off the rotor/hubs and a-arms... one side of this car got thumped somewhere along the way.

In any case I am starting on the refinish plans for these wheels and wondered if anyone knows when exactly the greenish hue went away on these wheels? I'm wondering whether to pursue the older greenish hue or the later plain Argent Silver in this case.

And a follow on, has anyone had any luck with a powder coating match or is it better to stick with the old Ditzler/Dupont paint?

I think the green tint rally paint, is generally thought to have been limited to 68 - 70 rally wheels.

In 1968 I thought the "greenish" tint was a mistake......and if I EVER owned a Vette----that greenish tint would quickly disappear.

I bought a 1968 six months ago....guess what happened......
