Steelie Advice

Here is what I did. I went to an auto paint supply store, and had the paint on my car scanned above the wheel opening. Any good store will have a special camera for this.

From this scan, they can develop a mixing formula. My paint is 40 years old so mixing to the factory formula just wouldn't have looked right.

Next, I fully prepped the wheels and painted with base and clear.

I painted with 2 colors, black and yellow. After primed, I masked off the face and painted everything black. The in I unmasked the face and masked the outside diameter. Next I shot the yellow and allowed overspray to go through the lug nut holes. This gave me a black wheel with a yellow face and some yellow overspray to the back side.
