I really need your help since I can't find any other source for this information.
I have 1982 Collectors Edition wheels that need to be painted. I have new NOS center caps and the wheels are original (never been refinished).
I need to determine the paint color and code so I can restore them correctly. The color on the caps between the fins is a sandy metallic. Under the center caps, on the wheel, the paint is the same color. However, the color between the fins on the wheels is a dark, dark brown metallic. Unless you are in direct sunlight, you would assume they are black. Very similar to the dark brown color of the strips of the Collectors Edition, maybe darker.
I've posted this on forums and some say this color is correct while others say it should match the color on the center cap.
I've also been told that the color code should be Dupont B8311K or B8311J. Not sure where these came from.
Can you provide me any assistance as to what is original and what the color codes are for the paint?
Again, I am 100% sure these wheels have never been repainted. They just show no traces of being repainted.
Were the center caps supposed to match the wheel color?
Thank you,
Michael
