What paint for Fuchs?

What paint do you "do-it-yourself" guys use for the back part of the fuchs?

I have read in the forum that the Rustoleum Black is very close.

because of wheel cleaners that maybe used and with people that will also use tire dressings a none catalyzed paint and primer is not recommended!
you would be far better off going with a 2K product.
of you don't have an air supply or spray guns this is not a problem as you can buy 2K paints and primers in spray can form. places like Eastwood , TCP , auto body tool mart sells them in different glosses. you would be looking for a satin black.
I have used the Eastwood rat rod satin black on a few things not rims I have spray equipment and a paint mixing system with the color code for the wheel color and gloss of the Fuch's.

I had the jobber mix 22 line up for me based on a chip against the factory fuch in 2003. He then gave me "flattener" to cut it to the flatness I chose if his blend did not look flat/matte enough. Worked fine and has been very resilient.

The color code would have been nice to have back then.

Can't go wrong with SEM Trim Black paint. Beautify satin patina, very easy to spray from rattle can (has direction fan pattern!), and very long-lasting. No affiliation.

Aside from SEM, Duplicor has some good quality paints.
