Yep, another color quesstion from me. I am refinishing the wheels on this 1970 CT 70 if I can find a close enough color. I just did a 10 minute bead blast job on them and they came out real clean on the outside and not too pitted on the inside so if someone can tell me a real close to the original color that I can paint them I will refinish these instead of looking for new ones.

I powder coated my Z50 wheels silver it's real close match and very durable.
Harley has a silver engine case paint which is tough as nails I've used it for lots of parts and you can heat the parts and bake it on. PJ1 also has some good rattle can paint.

Wow, can I get that engine case paint at the local Harley dealer? Or is it some special order deal through somewhere else?

I know my local HD dealer stocks it. It's very high quality paint.

I have used Dupli-color #FM 8118 SILVER - Its pretty close match.

Thanks guys, I just figured there is no need to run out and get new wheel halves when these cleaned up perfect. This is not a 100 point resto but I want it to look good.
