Fw: Paint for wire wheels

[frank drakman]

After I posted my last question about a "correct looking" shade of silver for the wire wheels Rob Johnson of the List suggested I contact British Wire Wheel and ask them what they used. I must admit I was a little hesitant thinking they might consider it a sort of ...confidential trade information.. I was very pleasantly surprised when the next day the company sent out the information. Good show for them. I will be sending another message thanking them for sharing this. Rob Greaves

So, what was the information? Can you share it?
