Is there such a thing??
Got some little chips that want touching up in the grey colour

 

Subaru parts don't sell a paint stick.....try your local paint/body shop and they should be able to make some up for you quite cheaply. If they don't know the paint code they could easily get it from SUK.

Touch with a Long stick LOL

Won't Places like Halfords make you up one from Colour Code ??

If your talking about FF7's forget it! Get a local paint shop to paint match them.
I had the same problem years ago trying to find a paint code for my FF7's, tried IM, Prodrive and even Speedline nobody could help me.

 

Remember the WR1 wheels are a slightly differant colour to normal pff7's.

 

Paint code is:


PPG 226.662 GRIGIO URANO HWB

Nevetas, so the WR1 are not Bright Flitter FF7's then?

 

Nope, they are not bright flitter. (Well so subaru told me)

Also at Power Engineering I parked next to a WR1 and the colour differance was quite noticable.

I also asked on the SIDC BBS and was told they are indeed two differant colours. Allbeit very simular.

 

Well I didn't know that!

 

Don't hold me to that though

I will try and confirm it 100% first, but I'm 99% sure.

 

I think most of us have been there Disgusting that a Paint codes aren't available for Subaru/prodrive wheels

Tony

ps thought Arron was on the 2 micron of Topcoat on Bodywork

 

well my local dealer gave me touch up paint and lacquer when asked!

What the **** is that???

 

Tony

Paint codes are available for the wheels.

The only problem is that they aren't recognised on anybodies paint schemes.

PMSL

Mike,

A big thanks for the reply

I got mt PF-7 repaired but it took 5 mixes till a simular colour was achieved

Is there a conversion Table or a simular Paint Code in the existing UK/EU paintcodes schemes?

Regards,

Pain in the Butt, i mean Tony

 

its code for blue rinse

 

Thats a lot of use then. PMSL.

 

Around the time of the initial launch of the WR1, I bought an ex-demo STi PPP which had gold PFF7's. I just cant take the gold wheels despite being an Impreza fan! So as part of the deal they ordered their next demonstrator with flitter PFF7's, to do a swap. I waited almost 2 months (with gold wheels!!!) for the flitter ones to come through, the reason given being they were all used up in the WR1-makeover.

 

Halfords it is then

 

Strange reason as they're different colours!
.

 

That was the point of the post...are they different colours? Was I being spun a story at the time (?reason) or did they apply the WR1 colour to stock 'bare' wheels for the WR1 thus diverting supplies?...not that it really matters anyhoo...

 

Would be interested in an official verdict on this, as I've been told many times they are differant. Very confused!

 

Anyone know of a firm that can make touch up sticks to given paint codes???
A friend has seen them at a show somewhere but cant remember the name???
That would solve all my problems

 

Well, that and a good hairdresser :P

 

When there was a group buy for PFF7's on here a couple of months ago the WR1 wheels were dearer than the other non gold PFF7 wheels. You also needed the chassis number to be able to order them for the WR1.

Not sure if they just repainted the original ones though.

 

Some people have it and some dont.
Clearly I do
