Hello
Wonder if anyone can help?
I have a F430 Scudria wheel in grey which needs paintwork on a small area on one of the spokes on a front wheel
(Surface has been prepared but needs painting)
Ferrari felt that it could be handled by one of the usual alloy repair firms but so far because of the colour ie grey rather than silver I've not had any takers.
Can anybody recommend someone?
TIA

I would try your local decent spray shop, although they may have to do the whole wheel ...

You maybe able to get the correct paint code from Ferrari

yes its annoying!!!
No paint codes and everyone saying it probably wont match if you only do the one wheel.
Theres no way im having a perfect wheel repainted to match one that is different than the other 3 from the factory to end up with one side view of the car slightly different to the other.

This is the only way to do the refurb. Paint all 4. Speaking from experience earlier this year!

Hi. I have a 16m. I had slight but obvious wheel damage on the front passenger side. When I sent the car to GreyPaul Nottingham fir service I asked for a quote to fix it. It was about £150 all done and the wheel is perfect. Do not know where u live bit they may help and bf reasonable and they do a great job. Goo luck

Ecosse Automotive did two on mine, perfect match and 100 times better than the local Ferrari dealer who had a pop at it. Speak to Matt 01506 516 106.
