Ralley II Wheel Paint Codes
Short answer: Original-match Rally II paint codes (use lacquer, not enamel — the factory finish wasn’t very shiny):
| Section | Color | Code |
|---|---|---|
| Front (outer rim & spokes) | Non-smudge Aluminum | DDL-8568 |
| Front (center) | Wheel Cover Charcoal | DDL-32947 |
| Rear (alternate, close match) | 1977 Ford Dove Gray | 2847 |
The “Rear” color also has a Ditzler mixing formula:
#475 6 Units #490 106 Units #400 272 Units #487 442 Units #415 447 Units #476 457 Units #491 477 Units #495 497 Units #499 1000 Units
Process: paint the back and rim portion gray first, then the whole front with the non-smudge aluminum; let dry a few days. Finally mask off the aluminum and shoot the center charcoal; pull the masking before the charcoal fully dries so it doesn’t lift. Masking kits (Year One) help. To convert these codes at a PPG/Sherwin-Williams store, drop the prefix letters and use the numbers only. Remove the valve stem and wheel weights before painting.
