    You will have to find a paint supplier who sells PPG paints to have any Dulon paint codes mixed up. PPG took over Dulon and have the same tinters, to any other supplier they are just meaningless numbers.

    Try to find a Holden dealer who has a paint shop in their parts dept. as they have all the codes on computer and can mix most colours for you.

    They are a different offset to the GMH wheels, but it wasn't quoted in literature. Are the imported wheels 6JK or 6JJ? 6JK only have 1 x safety bead.

    Silver 350 Met. has a newer code of 4J010
    Grey 350 Met. is 4H004

    try those numbers in your search and you might have a little more luck

    Just a word of warning on some of the overseas made GTS rims.
    One of the SS owners from here in WA bought a set and brought them around to me to ask my opinion on them as he was not happy with them.
    I will put it this way it looked like the were welded together by a 5 year old with his eyes closed.
    Some sections were only half welded and it looked like they needed to increase the wire
    feed speed in places and the amps in others.
    There was no way I would fit them to any of my cars let alone a completely restored SS
    like his is going to be.
    Cheers Paul.

    You can't legally use that rim on a car post 1972 as it only has 1 x safety bead.
