Vintage Motorcycle Hub Color

[Daytony]

I am restoring a small vintage motorcycle. I was able to find 2 new NOS chrome rims but unable to find the correct spoke count hub's so I will sandblast my old hubs and powdercoat them. For any of you know what a vintage motorcycle hub looks you know what color I'm after. Originally I think it was silver(ish) color with zinc plating? I am trying to find a color that looks close to that. Any recommendations?

hello Tony,
have you tried any of the classic/Vintage paint sites?
such as www.cyclecolor.com
http://www.freewebs.com/colorwrite/main.html
there are many more, i do know what colour you are talking about but it would be great to know what make/model you are restoring.
many thanks,

Thank's! The argent silver or Bright argent silver looks really close. Can you get an argent silver color in powdercoating? Also the bike is a 1972 Rupp Roadster 2.

Yes, you can get an Argent Silver powder.

them bikes bring back some memories, fun with a capital F.
