Hello all...
Anyone know where I could get a set of Standard MY98 16" Alloys sprayed and Baked the same colour as Terzo/STI wheels.
I have seen a post in the 'Items for Sale' forum which states that the correct colour is saffron yellow(58)... is this correct ???
The wheels have never been on a car so should need no or little preparation work to remove baked on dust etc..
Any information whould be helpful...

The exact colour is listed on the ICI paint charts and is called - funnily enough "WRX Wheel Gold". ICI Ref:- P422-GEG2B. Most repair garages use ICI paints and should be able to make up 1/2 a litre for you. My local Vauxhall garage can do it, because all the Vauxhall garages are required to use ICI paints.
The wheels will still need rubbed down with 800 grit paper - dont miss any bits. Then give them lots of coats of paint and even more of lacquer. Anyone with a compressor can do that for you!!!!!!!

Or you might try Spit & Polish (sorry, don't have the number but Pete Croney has it - Pete? you reading this?)
They use epoxy powder coating, which is more durable than ordinary spray paint. I have seen a set of wheels that they did in Williams Renault gold that looked simply stunning. It's a slightly different - an nicer IMO - shade than the saffron WRX colour, but they could probably do that colour too if you asked. Prices (from hearsay and memory) are also about £50 per wheel.
