    Does anyone out there know the gloss %, and confirm the paint code for Speedline challenge wheels? I believe the code to be PPG 229.019

    Restoring a set of wheels, with one set being stripped of an aftermarket finish to bring back to original. I have a fifth spare from another set that is quite race-worn, and the luster of the white finish appears to be more of a semi-gloss to satin, however wonder if perhaps time and wear has altered from its factory-new state.

    Thanks!

    Dow 7 is certainly a helpful initial coating step in ensuring a quality outcome, if available, and typically seen on items such as vintage bare cast magnesium drag wheels, blower housings etc, but not a set process requirement with painted magnesium alloy wheels.
