Krylon Smoke Gray for Steelies

[reddog90]

@Cruiser Corps is selling canned Pewter again. It’s great paint.

My PO gave me a used can of it. It's a perfect match, but $20/can plus shipping. SS100 is just about perfect match as well and can be found locally. Just don't know if I should clear coat it or not.

Found Exact Rattle can match to OEM pewter.

Some of you may know this already, and I have shared in the past on another thread. But if you're looking for a rattle can, over the counter match to oem pewter, the color found on a ton of trim parts. This is the one. Look no further. The picture is of an OEM mirror head that's been painted...

I started off with my usual Rustoleum Smoke Gray on the steelies I put on my FJ60.

Turns out the color is right for OEM 15’s but it looks too light for the 3rd world slit rim look I was going for.

So, I got some Rustoleum Industrial Gray and repainted them. The dark looks better on this truck

Forgot to update this thread, but I ended up comparing smoke gray with dark machine gray and chose dark machine gray. I felt the smoke had a little too much blue in it.

Is scuffing the black primer on the new steelies a necessary step before painting? Going to go with the smoke grey color for my tan 60.

I used 3M Scotchbrite pad on mine. It was alot easier than sandpaper and came out great

They look sweet. I’ll make sure and scuff before paint then. Btw, where’d you get those lug nuts if you don’t mind me asking?
