Hello Mister Moose, here in downeast Maine we give the moose plenty of room! This summer I wanted to match the paint on my wheels (the color was straw). I took the paint to a NAPA store which sells automotive paint. It was frustrating because there isn't enough flat area on the Model a Wheel to get a good match with the NAPA sensing gun. I eventually went to TCP Paints and purchased a gallon of acrylic urethane specially mixed for the Model A color "straw." The cost, an eye poping price of $250.00! The only thing I can say is the color is perfect and the rims looked absolutely beautiful. The paint is hard, high gloss and tough. I paid a ton but was rewarded with an excellent result. Good luck, Ed
