Paint Color for 2005 GXP Wheels

Post by White64Goat »

Does anyone know the paint color for the 05 GXP wheels? A lot of older Pontiacs used Argent Silver, but I'm thinking the GXP wheels are a tad darker than that? Thanks

Actually I bought the silver wheel paint at walmart when I had my 05 GXP. Exact match. Can't remember if it had a specific name but I don't think so. I'll check if I have a can left. I think it was duplicolor brand if I recall.

I'm using the Summit Racing 2 part wheel paint. The rattle can stuff doesn't survive the abuse of the brake dust.

I used Dupli-color silver wheel paint on a set of GXP wheels, also exact match.

That's the stuff. Held up just fine for me and cheap. Wish I would've kept them tho.
3 or 4 coats of clear and they were better than new.

I did also with the clear coat...looked awful after 2 years of brake dust and sun exposure. That's with using ceramic pads not semi-metallic.
