Rallye Wheel paint question

[71BuickGS]

Just bought a set of 4 used 15x7 rallye rims - should the black inset be
semi-gloss or gloss black? Thanks.

I used semi gloss on mine. But I know others that used gloss, and it will fade out to semi gloss after a while.

I taped them off good and sand blasted them inside and out. Sure helps with sealing the tire bead to the rim.

Good luck,
Brian

I have always favored semi gloss and also satin over the years . Everyone does there own thing . BUT , I have to say satin works Well !!!! :Brow: :Brow:

Satin or Semi Gloss Black only - definetly no Gloss or Flat Black ! :beer :TU:

why not just color match it with you car...that would be kinda trick too...right? :laugh: that was a lot of usefull info though!!!

For a custom look you can use any colour yah wants !
I just think they look best with the original argent grey or black inserts ! :beer :TU:

NAPA semi-gloss black lasted me for 10 years!

I have used Rustoleum semi gloss black. Looks nice and is rock hard. no chips. I believe the factory used enamel for the wheels unlike the lacquer on the bodies of the cars.
