Paint wheelcentres

[bluezeeland]

Can someone point me towards the correct paint/paint code n° for replacement wheelcentres for the Estorils ? Think its a Volvo colour, perhaps ?

Hi Frank sorry I don't know the colour code but I've just had to get mine repainted. What I did was whilst getting my wheels refurbished I got the wheel refurb shop to wet paint the centres with the same silver paint code they were using for the powder coat on the wheels. (They did it for free)
Even if you found the correct/original centre colour you'd find there would probably still be a colour mismatch with the wheels due to the aging effect on the paint on the wheels so best to get it all done at the same time - especially if your wheels are looking a bit scarred.

Hi James,

Yes, starting to think that too, alltho, there is nowt wrong with the rims (concerning previous/present owner )

Shall go and inquire if the body-shop can match and let them do the job !

cheers

I just used Wilkinsons silver paint on my Estoril centre and it's close enough.

Because there is a physical gap (although small) between the centre and the wheel body, it can be slightly off without being too noticeable. IMHO of course!
