I have a suggestion that might sound weird, but the paint exactly matched 
the two new wire (painted wheels) I got for my '69B:  From Walmart in the 
spary can Nybco 'Silver Touch' #6602.  [BTW, the top of the can and the 
writing on the can suggests a bright silver, BUT the actual paint is a 
very dull silver that matches the original wheel paint quite well.]
