These wheels needed a refresh and honestly they turned out pretty good for three coats of shaker can paint.

Yes they did turn out better then I thought....out of town currently but when I return will add a photo of them on the car with new tires. Will let you know the paint color, brand and part number. it does look very close to the stock VW wheel color. _________________ Volkswagen: We tune what we drive.

Final product with new tires. I used Dupli-color paint from Napa. The code on the can is HWP101 Silver.

I like the stock silver steel wheels, but two-tone opens up a lot of cool possibilities too.
These original paint Beetle wheels came on my '69.
