Fiat 750 Marron Volciano :smthumbup
Obviously the outer rim needs to be shiny but lacquering this paint just makes it go really dark brown. I might experiment with a different colour for just the rim. It's not a perfect colour match & it's never going to be, genuine Rays/Volks are anodised or alumited or whatever you call it. Original Rays/Volk Bronze wheel..

Wheels look good, is that a carbon fiber vinyl wrap?
|
Yes mate it is.

I have a set of Volks CE28N's which I had refurbed and then painted in a BWM bronze with a matt finish and if I'm honest I should have gone with a gloss finish as the matt just looks dull. :) |
Yeah I have a set of wheels I want done in a bronze and that colour looks quite good but I would want some lacquer on there I think
|

Yep, I remember watching your thread when you were re-spraying them. Thought they looked really good before lacquer and not too bad after but for some reason they looked much darker when fitted on the car and never looked as good IMO.
You find these things by trial and error. :) |

I have used the BMW A32 paint on another set of wheels but I thought it wasn't gold enough like the Rays/Volk are. BMW A32 looked darker & more gunmetal to me.

I was thinking that as well, not a criticism as we all have differing tastes.

I have my pro drive wheels spayed that te37 bronze with a coat of laquer on them, it brightens them up a bit but still look great I will upload a pic later on and you can see for yourself
|
Thanks for that - been looking at refurbing my wheels and quite like the look of the BMW A32.
Just a tip, maybe try some satin laquer. Shouldn't draken the metallic up as much as gloss will. Basecoat really needs lacquering to keep it protected. The Fiat colour looks like a pretty good match for the Volk colour, looks great imo, but I think for me (Silver car), the darker BMW colour will be the one :) Car looks great as well mate :) |
Look great to me, better than the BMW paint match wise, what will the paint wear like with no laquer
|
Looks great to me. Do like a nice Evo

Yes mate all trial & error. Thought I would share what I found in case anybody else was after a decent bronze.
Cracking job. Well shared info! :thumb: |
That looks evil .....I want one.
|
is there a paint code for it for mixing system
|
Fiat 750 Marron Volciano is the paint code.
I just went into my local automotive paint supplier & looked through their massive collection of swatches. |

bump for this thread, top man you have succeeded in fixing the problem Rota have given themselves by changing their lovely matte bronze to what can only be described as grey no matter what they choose to call it.
Good work chap :thumb: |
really useful pain code info good work fella :)

Good to see this thread still helping people :)
If anybody has used this colour paint on their wheels, post some pics up :thumb: Attachment 56927 Attachment 56928 https://www.scoobynet.com/<a href="<...ng"/></a> |
what do you use to detail your vinyl?
I've bought some auto finesse stuff from Trax where the guy said it has no silicone in it so using it on 'matt wrap' will enhance the colour without putting a shine on it. Not tested it out yet though. wheels look great BTW |
