<VV> Paint/rust question (Now Painted Wheels)

[RoboMan91324@aol.com]

I believe that I saw on VV that most of the wheels were painted the body 
color of the car they were on.  Is this correct?  If true, I would think that this 
would be a logistical problem if the car and the wheels weren't painted at 
the same time.  Using different types of paint and trying to match colors would 
add to the problem.  Does anybody have the story?
