I'm going to be sandblasting them and possibly powder coating? em. I will be trying to keep my 52 1 ton panel in a factory color(have not decided what color yet). I'm not doing a complete resto and painting the ol fella will come much later on but I need to do the rims now. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Use whatever other 1952 factory exterior color that suits your tastes.
