Try looking at these threads,

WR1 Owners Club :: View topic - What colour are the PFF7 alloy wheels?

https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyr...lour-code.html

It's not that easy PFF-&'s are bright flitter and WR1's are darker, Pewter, and paint Codes used by Speedlines (who make them) are their own factory made up codes for their own mixes. so paint manufacturers will not have a paint like it or equivilent code to match.

IMHO IIRC

Tony

Ps Mike Wood who posts in both these Topics, is one of top the Prodrive GURU who deals with developing PPP, PHP, P1's, WR1's, RB320,etc,etcf

There ain't one mate I've spoken with Mike Woods from prodrive about this before.

Quote
" Unfortunately there isn't a paint code for any of our wheels that makes any sense to someone repainting them. The way the wheels are painted during manufacture is different to how a bodyshop would paint them and as a result the codes they have for the various paint schemes aren't interchangeable".

Regards

Mike

All I can suggest is to take it to a auto paint shop and see if they can colour match.

being a panel beater im doing it myself, and so the best way to do it is to get one of the painters from work to match the colour up? even if they aint the same match im doing all 4 anyway, so they will look better than they do now!!
thanks for the help everyone
