Just had the S202 wheels re-painted but they are not quite the colour i had planned on having They look lovely but i'm looking for something as close as possible to the original shade, any recommendations??
The current new colour is GK1 but it's a little too gold
Dave.

 

Bmw sepang bronze

 

Nice one, have you tried or seen this colour on wheels yourself? I don't want to get them painted again after this session if possible

 

Sepang bronze is lovely Dave.
Just had my speedlines done in it.

Have some paint left if you want it??

Thanks matey, by the time i get to grab it it'll be long gone but i do appreciate the offer, did you lacquer on top or leave it matt?

Dave, there is no exact match for the Rays / Volks bronze colour as it's unique and can alter between batches of wheels manufactured.

EPS Wheels in Swansea did my previous S202 wheels and they had to have a custom colour made up which they had to match against the wheels.

Unfortunately you're not going to get an exact match merely a close result, and definitely go for a high gloss finish as matt looks like it's just dirty.

 

It doesn't have to be exact to be honest Ty as long as they are a nice shade of bronze They are now bright gold which looks nice but nothing like i expected
Dave.

 

Even the BMW Sepang Bronze will be too dark in my opinion, it should be somewhere between the standard Subaru gold and the BMW Sepang Bronze.

Like I said the only way that EPS could get it close was by start off with the standard gold and then getting their paint supplier to darken / change the shade by the introduction of orange to change the colour to somewhere between gold and bronze.

 

They look great Ty!! My painter told me about sending the wheel to be colour matched after he painted it ...............bit f**king late now i said!!!! Never mind, it's just capped off a crap week i've had with everything that could go wrong going wrong
I've also seen Fiat 750F which is a nice bronze, i've got until Monday to decide

 

Give him a good kick up the **** then, that's why I said about using orange to darken the colour more towards a bronze.

 

We did start adding orange but i got bored / impatient as i was going to be late for my pint of fine lager so said that'll be fine.........but it wasn't
Just thought, that's added a few dollah to my evening of indulgence!!!!
