Im about to paint the rims of my 56 oval window bugs rims, outer rim body colour, inner rim pearl white,
Can someone tell me if the inner side of the rim ?I.E the other side of the rim you dont see is the body colour or pearl white? Hope this makes sense.

I had the rims sandblasted and primed, they were what i presume was pearl white all over, not two tone.
I wanted to paint them two tone, the body colour is dove blue.
So wondering if the non hubcap side is body colour or pearl white. Or black?

thanks for that IN2VWS, handy little colour chart that,
One of the reasons I chose dove blue was I could get a formula for the paint, even tho the colour wasnt used in aust, easy to get.

Thanks Dave,
Would that be gloss black or matt?
