Colour match for Prodrive PFF 7 Wheels
 
Need bright flitter touch up paint for Prodrive PFF 7 wheels.Tried main Subaru dealer but they cant get it from Prodrive.
Does anyone know the paint code or a good match from Halfords or elsewhere?
Any advice would be great.

Cheers

Prodrive P-FF7 wheels are the 7 spoke ones & are made by Speedline in Bright Flitter or Gold colour.Mine are the Bright Flitter ones which are a sort of flecked silver.

OZ 18s are usually 10 spoke & come in Gold,Silver,Anthracite or Crystal Titanium.AFAIK OZ don't do a Bright Flitter finish on their wheels.

Mark.

Hope to have it sorted soon but thanks for all advice on here.
Taking my car 50 miles away to Chapmans of Pickering on Friday.Their salesman, big Mac is a top bloke and has arranged for the mobile paint specialist they use to come sort it for me.
After sales service here is second to none and its a brilliant ride out over there from Stokesley to Helmsley which I do regularly on motorbike.

Well happy !
 
Got wheel painted at Chapman's of Pickering as planned.The lad made a brilliant job of mixing a match and painting my wheel, so it's just like new now.Cost me £40 and well worth it as it would probably have cost me £15 - £20 just to buy the paint if it was available.Mac at the garage loaned me a Forester XT Automatic for the day and I was impressed with that too so it all turned out well in the end. Thanks for all advice from scoobienet folks.

cheers

"Bright flitter paint code PPG 226661 from Mike Wood at Prodrive."

I gave this reference to a wheel refurbisher and he said the code did not match the paint codes he uses. In fact this one came up as yellow !!!!

Any ideas where one goes from here other than a visual paint match?

Thanks

Hmm, well I am looking for a touch-in paint stick as well.

AFAIK the dealers don't stock it so unless it can be ordered direct from Prodrive we are fecked. :(

I will try to e-mail them & see what the score is.

Mail just sent.

Has anyone had any joy in closely matching the bright flitter colour, with an aftermarket touch up paint? I have some scratches that need covering before the road salt starts corroding the alloy.:cry:
