Alloy Wheel Paint

[jsweet]

I have a small 1cm chip on my wheel which has no dent but just a small flake of paint has popped off. Its too small to justify a refurb but large enough for it to irritate me haha. Does anyone know how i can find out the Paint code so i can touch it up ? i have anthracite tridents.

The PPG paint code is 226679 (Grigio Mercury)

Isn't that different to Anthracite? My Anthracite wheels look a lot darker than Grigio Mercury...

Yes your wheels are slightly darker murphy7355.....On the Astro wheels its called shiny anthracite....where as the tridents and neptines it's grigio mercury.

Thanks Andy.

I think the Astro have more of a metallic tint in them. When the Astro came out wasn't a fan now they are my favourite GT wheel after the Stradale ones.....Suit the face life and Spyder far more than any other wheel. Oh and as you know I think your car is just perfect with them on. I see HR Owen have another Auto face lift for sale in blue which also looks amazing.......One day maybe...

Anybody know what the paint code for 2002 4200 wheels is

Reginald Molehusband has scuffed round the edge but the rest of the wheel is OK so before paying out for a refurb I thought I'd have a go at. Fixing it

Those are the same colour code as the body. It's under the bonnet.

No, but I assumed it was rude. Having googled, I see I was right

Is it just me that thinks those pics above look downright sexy. GT truly is a timeless design

Delivered some parts to a powder coating place today, had a word with the boss , they'll strip, sand the damage , prime ,silver base coat, water based topcoat then lacquer all 4 for £140 , they had a set they'd just finished that looked very good so if my efforts don't look good I'll get the tyres off and send them in

They said 2-3 day turn around , they also had a truck sized spray booth but when I said Maserati his eyes said no chance

I'm very glad she's gone to someone that's lavishing some care on her She deserves a pampered life
