Wheel colour

This may have been addressed before, but has anyone a recommendation for a wheel refurb person or place that has experience matching the RS6+ wheel colour?

I have a flaky paint issue. No scratches as you can see, but something has disagreed with the paint. The dealer has agreed to pay so money is no object...


Thanks chaps

That would look like a warranty job to me worth a go with Audi IMO

Bob, I had mine repainted by the local dealership's paint people (not Audi ) and they did a rotten job, poor colour match and finish. Played steam and they replaced the wheels........Just a thought.

Audi wont touch it as a warranty claim because the wheel has been refurbed in the past....

i had mine done by spit n polish in kent - they did a great job but couldnt match the matt finish so is a shinier finish which i think looks better and is easier to clean. 250 quid for 4.

Unless its miles out, if you have all four painted, I think you would struggle to notice the difference it a slightly different shade!
