Wheel Refurbishment

by bodgetastic » Wed Jan 30, 2013 8:30 pm

Im looking to get my original LE Wheels Refurbed. I belive they came finished in a champagne colour, does anyone have any info on this and potentially a paint code that I can match - not sure how it works tbh?

if you're not going to mix and match from other sets it doesnt matter.
just take a wheel into your paint place and ask them to pick a code based on their colour charts.. the whole wheel is going to get painted anyway. so close enough is close enough :) they'll be able to pick the courseness of the metal flake etc and colour pretty good by eye.
