Aluminium trim - colour/paint code match for wheels

Post by MrHilario » Tue Mar 20, 2018 10:58 am

Hi Guys,

I want to match my wheels with the aluminium trim, does anyone know the colour/paint code that matches?

Cheers :beerchug:

I thought the code was LAP6, just had some paint mixed today so that may now be going straight in the bin 😂

Cool let us know what is looks like please, just for future reference. :thumb:

I may just get them diamond cut, either that or I will go with hyper silver.

A quick colour match update - I used the LAP6 paint and when placed next to the original wing mirror it is slightly darker with a slight yellow tone.
I think it looks fine if your not blowing an area in and I defy anyone to spot any mismatch if the items are a metre or so apart.
