Goodwrench3 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi all --I was wondering if anyone has any tips for paint color for the "ivory white" color of the older steering wheels ? I don't want to paint it the "bright" stark white. Most of the photos of the '70s cabovers show a more "off white" or "ivory" white color.Thanks !

Old Buckaroo Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I really like Model Master enamel # 2709 Light Ivory , it is also a gloss finish. But then there was all of those metallic sparkle wheels that owner operators liked so well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Duplicolor Wimbledon White (Ford color) also works pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
