Painted the Pedrini's on my 73 few months ago with Wurth Silver Lacquer. I think they now look too silver / shiny. Can anyone recommend a different silver rattle can color a little darker? What might be close to the orig color? Other Pedrinis I have seen look darker with a more flat finish. Supposed to rain next 3 days. Might be good time to repaint.

But to my knowledge, 914 alloys of any variety every had paint on them. I think they were all anodized. Pat |

Magro is a member of this site. Super guy to talk to and expert on refinishing. Paul |

I stated that I'd had no direct experience with alloys, because I know they promote global warming. Paint would have help seal them, but I was unaware. Seriously, I DO have pictures of those hubcaps - J.C Whitney specials from 1973, but haven't had them converted from slides yet. Yes, they were anodized & actually fairly correct. Nor perfect, but as I recall I paid $20 for the set. Pic's to follow. Oh, and I lied. I DID have a set of empi-style allows on my 914 during the '80's. I'll see if I can dig those pics up too. Pat |
