Re: [Chrysler300] G wheel cover paint

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi All:
As with many things on our cars, the wheelcover paint matching is not too  
straightforward.  According to Chrysler engineering drawings, the Chrysler  
Color Number for the wheel cover red and the medallion red are the same: C-7415  
Flag Red.  Unfortunately, I have never been able to get a paint color  master 
for the Flag Red.  The ram red is a different Chrysler Color number:  C-7107.  
I do have a master for that red, and the present substitute,  Cummins Apex Red 
is pretty darn good. 
What to do?  Well, it is obvious that Chrysler wanted the wheelcover  red to 
match the medallion red.  I used an NOS medallion I had to match red  for my 
300F.  I found the 1962 Festival Red was a good match to THAT  medallion, so 
used it.  I seriously doubt all original medallions were the  same exact shade, 
even though intended to be, and that varience is probably  accentuated as more 
repros become available.  I there a bottom line to all  this?
Maybe just take your best, most original medallion (the one between the  rear 
seats?) to the paint store and match the red on it the best you  can.  Hope 
this is of some  help.          300ly, Gil  Cunningham

Bob,  Rich and all,

I believe that Rich's info is correct, and that the  hubcaps are painted same
color as rams.

As per previous e-mails, the  current correct brand / color of paint is

Cummins engine paint, that  Dave Schwandt says is available at any Cummins
engine shop.  Ask for  PN  3163075 Apex Red.  It apparently also goes by
Rouge Red and  perhaps Rojo Red.  It comes in 12 oz  cans.
