  • Avanti Rim Color

    Does anyone know the Dupont or PPG color equivalent that Studebaker used to paint the Avanti stock rims ?

    I use Sherman Williams antique white or Almond epoxy, both in spray cans.

        Available at any FLAPS/auto paint store or do you need to find a S-W dealer (I haven't seen S-W spray cans at my usual non-automotive places)?

            I bought mine at a S-W store, but lots of colors are rear close, just look for almond, antique, or parchment. There is a Ford color that is correct also, not sure what it's called.

                        The F**d color is Wimbleton White, used for many years on many different models. Very close match and available at your FLAPS in a spray can. Hope this helps.
