Correct black/gray for ’66 hubcap is….?

[Sartana]

I want to repaint the hubcaps on my ’66 Corvette. What have you found to be closest to the original color that I can buy at my local hardware store? I have heard “Cast Blast” mentioned but that seems too gray for me. That being said, I don’t have an original to look at so I really have no idea. I have heard that black is not correct. Thanks for any help.

It's a flat, grainy charcoal finish - LICS has it in spray cans.

Hello Sartana,


Welcome to CAC.

I have painted my 66 hubcaps with paint supplied by Long Island Corvette Supply (LICS) and were happy with the results. The color is a grayish charcoal color. Check them out at http://licorvette.com/
