  I had my TR4A wheels powered.  The silver color had a hint of blue.  The
wheels look nice, but the blue hue is apparent.  Anyone else have this result?
I heard that Corvette silver is the closest one can get to original.

  Did that, looks great, no rust coming at all. If paying a service, be very
  certain they do all sides, not just the outsides. Sandblasted unpainted
  insides turn nasty brown after a year or two and you have to do a lot of
  handwork to fix it up. Ask me how I know...

  Any viewpoints on powdercoating stock steel wheels?  Good or bad idea?
  Thanks in advance,
