Wheel Paint Code

Post by Sammyb349 » Sun Jan 20, 2019 3:27 pm

Guys

I have my v-spoke wheels in need of a refurb. I initaly thought to refurb without the diamond cut and to re-paint in L8AU but I am now thinking maybe something a bit lighter might be better suited. Any thoughts?

Also, does anyone have the original paint code for the v-spokes (slightly blue titanium colour) or any suggestions for the v-spokes

Mine are the polished V spokes. I'd prefer the titanium look or rotors tbh. The polished ones are quite rare I think. I've not seen many.

That colour looks good, especially with the chrome pack. Seeing it like that has got me thinking maybe the satin chrome of the wing mirrors could work. Any idea what paint code they are?

I'm terrible with things like that man, sorry.

So you're going custom? That could be really nice with the satin

Yes - without the diamond cut. Rotors for winter, v-spokes for summer

I wanna be the opposite. Haha. These brakes have buggered me.

Ummm, maybe @surreysam could assist. Deano would have known but I've not seen on here for a fair old time since he sold his Razza. One of mine has a minor buckle or I'd powder coat in the meantime too.

Do you still need the paint code, I have it at home for my rotors which are the fully painted option.

I can get it in a couple of weeks time when I go home

Using the power of google I found 1H7 to be the code, however I will confirm what I have written on my garage cupboard door
