I used a Chevy Rally wheel silver. It was a little grayer than the original,
but it isn't that far off from the original color. I found out that if you use
a color that the powder coater buys in bulk it will be cheaper than if you
order a non-stock color from the samples. $30 sounds like about like what I
paid. Mine were sand blasted first. If you go with a different color make sure
you can live with it, because powder coat doesn't strip off easy. To me,
silver was the safe choice.

Subject: Powder coating steel wheels
Hello 6Pack:
I've gotten a couple quotes for powder coating the original, steel wheels of
my '69 TR6.
I'd like some color suggestions. I'm thinking about black or red but may
try to come as close as the original silver as possible for the sake of
originality. Powder coating seems like a pretty good alternative to simply
painting them. The cost is reasonable as well; about $30 per wheel.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Walt Fogle
