Hey Nick;
From our page

From Gil Gunningham regarding the 300F wheel
cover:
The Chrysler drawing for the 300F wheel cover (PN 2122531)
states "same as #1856400 Assy - wheel cover, except Flag
Red Paint C-7415, in place of semi-gloss black, C-1412-E."
Since the black for the 300E cover was stated as
semi-gloss, and there was no differing specification for
the red, I would conclude the red is also a semi-gloss. I
do not have specifics on the actual Chrysler Color number
with regard to gloss.
Now, what is Flag Red? It is also the color of the red
specified in all the red white and blue 300 plastic
medallions. Therefore, if one has a good NOS medallion,
that is the Flag Red color. It is easier to match if the
medallion is smooth in the red area like those on the D,
G, H, and J wheel covers.
I do, however, have an official Chrysler color master for
the ram manifold red, C-7107-A. When an original medallion
is held on the surface of that master, the two colors are
almost a perfect match! For some time the Club has
suggested using Cummins Engine Red (Apex Red) as a
substitute for the ram paint, although it seems just a wee
bit darker. Unless you want to try and match the medallion
red, the Apex red would probably be a decent substitute
for the Flag Red.
As for the "gear", I am sure they are anodized. Also, very
nice reproductions are available through the Club Store.
300ly, Gil Cunningham
Someone asked about the best match for the red
orange color used for the hubcaps on a 300G.
Noel replied: "We’ve been using Cummins Diesel engine red.
Pick up a spray can at your local Cummins shop."
Val replied: "I recall using Seymour Buick Red in a spray
can. Perfect match."
Bob replied: "Agree with Noel. Cummins Apex Red paint p/n
3163075, available through Cummins parts outlets. Good for
intake rams and wheel cover centers 300G/F."
I have no experience with Buick red but I like the results from
Apex red -- maybe just me.
No primer.
