66gtk Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 $4 / can on the shelf at Menards. Rustoleum Canvas White. This is a really, really good match. I have a set of WW wheels with original paint and this matched well as you can see. The first photo shows a tape line revealing the new paint with the old original paint. They also sell this at Menards for $9 / quart.
Gary Lewis Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 That's really good to know. Thanks for sharing.

salans7 Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 Nice! Wish my truck was still Wimbledon White, this would make a good touch up spray for my ratty old truck.
Ford F834 Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Thank you very much for this! I have really grown fond of the Wimbledon white on my ‘81 and was hoping there might be something close that was available off the shelf (in an aerosol) besides the tiny little expensive cans of color match. This will save me the trial and error...
