Re: 55 Merc hubcap color

I used a color that you can get at most auto parts stores in a spray can.  I used a GM color called Garnet.  If it gets down to whether you have the actual “correct” color in your wheel covers, offer the judge a beer, which will probably have more influence than anything anyone else can say.  The factory never published a paint formula for the part.  After getting close to 60 years, even NOS ones will no longer be “right”.
