We've just bought a 63 plate Mazda 2 to be the school run shopping trolley. It's in good condition, apart from the rear wheels. I can only
assume that they've got wet and the drum brakes have never got them warm enough to dry, there's basically light patches of surface rust in
the gaps between the wheel cover.
Because she-who-must-be-obeyed wants her car all nice and pretty, I was going to clean up the rust then give them a light dusting. But a light dusting
of what? It's not a gloss paint, it's more of a matte black. Is there a particular brand or type of paint that would be a good match?
I'd prefer not to paint all four if possible.
satin black is probably what your looking for
you can even get specific ones for wheels like this:

may seem expensive but isn't, hot dip galvanise is the best option by a long way and is a lot cheaper than power coat

Probably easier and not much dearer to get a set of used OE alloys.
