The truck is painted red and black and the rims are painted the same color red as the body. I thought it was swift red wa5127 so I ordered a rattle can in that color. However, after painting the rim it is obvious I need a darker color red paint. Who can help me...please? ray durham | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 5,775 Gearhead, Stovebolt Tech and Parts Tracker, Mod for Swap Meet and GTT | | Gearhead, Stovebolt Tech and Parts Tracker, Mod for Swap Meet and GTT Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 5,775 | Ray - You gotta post a picture of your existing wheels (and probably the recently painted one) in really good light to try and get a close guess to what may be needed.
Any idea what color "red" the truck was painted???

I used a similar approach to match paint on the tailgate for my ‘37. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2016 Posts: 121 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2016 Posts: 121 | I have contacted a local automotive paint store who can match my paint. Thanks everyone | | |
