Not wanting to confuse the issue here -- God forbid someone on the list
should do that -- but silvers come in many shades, and it's hard to find one
that's appropriate for Triumph wheels. But Eastwood makes a paint in a
spray can specifically for wheels called "Silver Argent" that I used on a
'74 Spitfire -- it looked just like the original wheel color. It's about $7
a can, and you'll need at least two to do a set of wheels. (More like three
or four.) They're on the web at http://www.eastwoodcompany.com.
