painted magnum restoration

[davez]

Got around to restoring a set of 795 marked painted 14x6 magnums.
Media blasted the face and inside and left the original paint alone on the inner rim.
Since paint codes are difficult to find I took a wheel in to a paint supplier and they have books of  PPG chips catalogued as wheel colors. I picked the closest one to the paint on the inside of the rim and did them in base clear with the clear being  a satin finish to match the paint on the inside of the rim

Since there aren't any good stencils I spent a few hours and made my own. Each stencil goes around each lug pocket in one piece so no starting and stopping of tape lines. I used a satin black for the inserts

Hi Davez,

I like the satin finish.  Do you know if the OEM finish on the visible side was flat for both the gray and black?

I don't know about the black but am confident this set was a satin / close to a semigloss when new on both sides
