Yep, paint. I have the PPG stuff laying around somewhere.
I've seen some powder coated though that looked dead on.

Me too. Fun little project. I thought I posted some progress pics on here at some point but can't find the thread.

i just had mine refinished and they came out pretty good. I paid about 125 a wheel I just dropped off at wheel repair and told them to match it.

Not sure if it's the camera, lighting or my screen, but those wheels look more grey than the silver OEM finish.

Might be slightly off I don't think they actually ordered the oem ford paint for the wheels (if u can even get that still) but
They are close enough and the color and the clear is much deeper than they were originally so I'm pretty happy with them

Will a pint be enough to do the 4 wheels with the PPG?
