Hi gang- first time poster. I have a 60 single cab pick up. My question is in regards to the original factory paint color that went on the wheels and hubcaps. The truck is the two tone red and white. I was told the hubcaps should be completely painted one color and the wheels a different color. Please help. Thanks

look at the m-code tag inside the cab. it should show you the original color.
It will likely say Red. for 60 that could be sealing wax red. wheels would be silver white. hub cab light grey or chrome.
essentially every thing that is not Red or Black will be silver white.

This thread was extremely helpful. I powder coated my rims and hubcaps 2 years ago and they are still perfect. I ordered 4lbs of RAL-9002 for bumpers and rims and 1lb of RAL-7032 for hubcaps. I ordered the powder and it was drop shipped to my powder coater.
Also, If you pull your headlights you will possibly see your original color written by hand at the factory directing color to the painters. _________________ Greg
