Roger, Astral Gray was a primary body color for Mercedes in the 70s. While it might have been the same color as the wheels, Würth refers to it a “silver wheel paint”. At least that’s been my experience. Switch to ceramic brake pads and your dust will be minimal. -D > On Oct 7, 2019, at 12:15

As someone mentioned, use the Würth silver wheel paint as it’s an exact match. I never primed any of the wheels I painted and didn’t have later issues with adhesion. That’s both after media blasting or just painting over the existing finish. -D > On Oct 6, 2019, at 11:04 AM, Andrew Strasfogel

Going to attempt to refinish my spare set of alloy wheels by power washing them, thoroughly drying them and then painting them with an appropriate silver spray paint. I need something that matches the color of the originals and is also durable. I wondered whether I should first use a primer as
