Painted wheel color

[Flbatfish]

Does anyone know the paint code for the stock painted wheels?

[RubberCtyRauder]

Marauders don;t have stock painted wheels..except for the super saver spares if so equipped..If you just mean the color for steel wheels for like crown vic or marquis..then a satin black seems to work best,,not too glossy and not overly flat/dull

Mine R painted a silver color looked at the back and there ford wheels.

A picture would help. I seem to remember a driver that had a Marauder with four spare wheels. I wonder if you bought that car?

[Flbatfish]

I bought the wheels from brandywine in MD. So the painted ones r the spare wheels?

Yes. The OEM Marauder wheels are polished aluminum.

The mini spare was a black steel rim.

The full size spare was an uncoated, unpolished forged aluminum wheel.

stock i think would be clear gloss ?

They're not painted, just polished with automotive clearcoat on top.

Yes, post up a pic, but it sounds like he has a set of the unpolished full size ones that were the spare tires on the early models before the super saver size steel wheel.

I bet that's what he has.

here is a photo fo the wheel

that wheel has been painted by someone, its not a spare, unless it was clear coated. spares are not glossy, and oem are polished(chrome looking)

so were not sure of the exact color used, sorry.

[RubberCtyRauder]

Thanks for the pic..well it certainly looks like what is called the full size spare that was on the early models..it was unpolished..but I have never seen one myself so i am sure another member here will confirm more info about it once they read this post further.

That is what the full size spare looks like.

That wheel is glossy, not dull. Its been painted/clear coated. To the op: does it feel slick or rough to the touch? Pictures can be a little decieving.

[Jeffonebuck]

The color looks like ARGENT, could be sprayed or powder coat

[Flbatfish]

The painted wheels (3) are smooth. I have one that is polished. I want to paint the polished one to match the painted ones. I remember that argent was the color of the 66 67 painted portion of the chrome wheels. It was a little greenish.

Regarding the 300A full-size spare(s) ...
http://www.gdmjoe.com/wheels/mm300asparerims.jpg they ARE painted|coated. *Scratch the surface on one and you'll see.
they have a satin finish.
don't know the paint code/color, however, it's (for lack of a better term) SILVER.

NOTE: it's DEFINITELY NOT argent ...

Are your painted wheels smooth or textured? The full size spare wheel has texture.

[Flbatfish]

My wheels are smooth.

[Flbatfish]

I accidently poofed a message wanting to trade please resend.

[EMAS]

My wheels are smooth.

So then you need to paint/powder coat a polished wheel as the spare will not match.

[Flbatfish]

For what it is worth one of the wheels (the polished one) came in it's original box. It is from Keystone out here in Pomona. Part # ALY03493U80N. I checked CCI have them in stock at $169.87 each.

[RubberCtyRauder]

That's a replica CAST wheel ( the CARID link)..originals are FORGED from Alcoa..which are much stronger, but are very expensive..upwards of $1000 each new from Ford. Just passing it along as info.

That looks like the full size spare from an '03. I know cause I've got four of them in storage.
