Wheels are at the powdercoater with instructions for a "true" red, no orange or burgundy, it just looks RED, I helped pick it out from samples he had.
I have a few days to change my mind before he gets to them.

He will make up a sample when he coats the wheels so I can match paint to the powdercoat later.

I had no luck getting the paint color from the gentleman who restored the AC Mack in the picture above. I had talked to him at numerous truck shows, and asked about the color, he seemed willing to help then, and asked that I call when he was at the shop, he would get the paint code for me, I did about a year ago, he was busy and never got back to me. Last week I left a message and sent an email, no reply.
I'll have to take my sample powdercoat card with me to the shows and compare it in person next time I see the AC Mack. Hope it is really really close, and if not then I suppose I can paint the wheels if I have to, if I do ever get the color of the Mack, or may end up just matching the cab to the wheels if they look great.
