Prodrive GT1 alloys (Gold), do they have a paint code ?
With them being quite an old alloy now im not sure if they were painted or powder coated at the factory, has anyone ever bought any gold touch up paint for them, if so do you know of a paint code or a link as to where you got the touch up paint from if it was a good match, i've got a small scratch on one that i want to touch up.
Thanks |
They where made by Team Dynamics so just contact them as it's their standard gold colour

I doubt you will be able to get a paint code from them as they have been sourced by Prodrive to produce the wheels and paint only for them but I could be wrong.
In the past I've tried t get a paint code from Prodrive, unsuccessfully. If a paintshop has a spectrophotometer you can find out exactly what the paint is comprised of. Alternatively, a RAL chart may give you the closest match. |

I think the best option as fpan/fivos has tried himself in the past is to go down to an automotive paint shop, hopefully when that has a digital paint scanner and try to get some touch up made, its just a small annoying scratch but it would be nice to have the touch up to get rid of the scratch. |
Rob, you could try that: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132265319...3ABFBMiPfc7bVf

Thanks mate, ive tried ebay touch ups before and they are very rarely a good match, quite a bit off a lot of the time. I'll try to get to a paint shop and see if they can scan the wheel as its the best chance of getting a good match.
https://www.wheelpaints.co.uk/CAR-MA...rs-Q-Z/Subaru/ This gold has been long sort after by wheel refurbishers and owners alike. Much lighter than the 1999 gold and BBS Gold. Due to the opaque nature of the colour it is recommended that it is proceeded by a light primer or basecoat. preferably a white. |

I'd contact this place, they seem to know what they're talking about:

After quite a bit of detective work i managed to track down a gold paint code for Prodrive GT1 alloys, they were actually wet paintedd and not powder coated. I contacted Rimstock who made the wheels for Prodrive, they were great and it was one particular guy that went out of his way to help out. He emailed me back and he said its a company in Germany that supplied them with the paint called FreiLacke https://www.freilacke.com/
The code is below, you'd have to contact Freilacke to see if they can help as this is their own paint code and not an industry one. Prodrive GT1 Gold paint code: W01838V0E21A ...... I'm not 100% certain if they are meant to be zeros or the letter O in the code. |
Great detective work Rob!

@The Joshua Tree yes good work, if you could just find out the brembos paint code.......

I presume people in the past have already tried contacting Brembo to get some info, won't they be powder coated in heat resistant powder coat rather than being painted ?
But hey i run ap 6pots up front and the alcon 4 pots out back now so personaly i dont need a match. If you could find a proper touch in match for gold brembos you would achieve hero status thats for sure. |

Yes to powder coat probably and yes 100s have tried to find a match, i tried honda inca gold and a humbrol enamel both of which are a very poor match.

Did you get the wheels refurbed using this colour code \ help from Freilacke? Garage damaged mine during tyre change and now I need to go through the same process it seems 😢
I've got 2 really nice condition Prodrive GT1 alloys here if anyone is interested and needs spares, obviously they are in gold, they are 114.3 |
