    I've had good luck with Tower Paints.They can make just about any color from code and put it in a rattle can.Its not cheap,but if you dont have a spray setup its decent.
    I thinkin' ,roll with what you got if it bothers you come next december repaint as a winter project.

    Terry's right. In the Rustoleum line, "Almond" is almost a perfect match to the LR "Limestone". I have used it, and seen the results.

    I did a comparison of different rattle colors versus Genuine Limestone: Rustoleum Almond (closest, IMO), Krylon Almond (also close), Rustoleum Antique White (way too light).

    I'll post a pic tonight or tomorrow.

    thanks for all the info, everyone. At sunrise this morning I headed to Home Depot and grabbed 2 cans of Rustoleum Almond. I repainted the wheels. NOW I am a happy camper. There wasnt a whole lot of difference in the colors, even as I painted on the new 'Almond' however there is a slight difference, the Ivory was more 'yellow'...I really like how the rims look now...with the Rustoleum Almond....

    Yeh Mon!

    Glad you're happy with it. I did mine last fall, and it was too cold so they didn't come up as glossy as I would have liked, but this thread has inspired me to do them again, now that it's above freezing, sorta.
    I touched up a spot on the top, and you could, at the right angle, see a difference, but I hit the area with the power buffer and some 3M and it blended so well, I have to say it's near on the money. Ifr I eat my Wheaties, maybe I'll compound the whole top...............nah, then the rest of the truck will look worse than it already does.
