Hi Tom

GTD is spot-on, if you paint a modern bright silver on the wheel, you totally lose the effect of the chrome hubcap, whereas the slightly greyer silver has the effect of making the hubcap stand out.

I use a "fine silver" which is the colour we use for vintage wire wheels & is a grey / silver & looks fantastic on my cars.

Ciao
Greig
