Getting a couple of my wheels re-furbed and need to know the correct colour/texture given for them, as i would like them all to look the same biggrin

Not a simple answer. They are a shadow chrome finish created by overspraying onto a black base coat. This finish unfortunately is nigh on impossible to colour match. IIRC some have had some pretty close results but not guaranteed.

Ideally you have to have the whole set of 4 resprayed, and maybe to a stock metallic or other colour that can be easily matched for any future refurbs.

One reason I have been putting up with a slight scrape on one of my rims, as its either full resprays or new rim at £800 odd!!
