After having these re-painted in white, and a mis-match in the shade we chose. ive decided now a bronze or similar is what i want. question is though, what shade and do i go matt or metallic before they are lacquered ? wheels are going on my white R ...

 

I'd go with a semi gloss or eggshell effect not gloss Craig

 

try to keep them the same colour as they look nice,i would say a light gold/bronze rather than the darker bronzes.

 

Before they are lacquered do you mean ? do you have a paint colour code or example of what you say there .....

 

No not before the clear,the eggshell effect is the laquer mate and it means not the full shiney affect you see on you car panels.
I will have a run through the chips and post some paint codes that would suit

 

you could paint them white....

 

Im def sure i want a lighter bronze mate. what i really would like is a colour code or.... for my body shop to mix up paint from.

 

awe brilliant mate, that would be tops..........

 

yea, thats real funny... its taken maybe 15 hours with a machine getting all the wrong shade white off

 

nice wheels craigo. hope they turn out nice.
what size are they?

 

You should just get them to me and I'll put them right

 

i might have to pay a visit to you one day for a small amount of bodywork....
dont suppose you are mobile as you are miles from me?.

 

Not mobile i'm afraid but come on down when your ready and i'll sort out whatever you need mate

 

i know mate, we were here couple of weeks ago. i really want to see them go through the whole process though with my own eyes.. see how the whole job comes together

 

 

i can put your body right, with a nice can of pink !

ps, i can get the train up to where you are

 

u might try and steal my new rims!

 

how did you get on today, weather was bloody awful down this way ?

 

same here,but i did manage to get it off.it will be on its way to you shortly,ill get the pics to you soon.trying to get my jun painted today.

 

Will you be able to post up a few examples in the week mate ? the wheels are finally stripped back to metal ready to primed (again )

 

I'll get some codes from the chips tomorrow when I'm down the workshop

 

Fantastic, thanks......

 

Got my new Rays wheel decals through today just need the paint now

 

*****,knew I forgot something today
I've just written it on my notepad Craig,will defo post some codes tomorrow mate

 

A little bird told me today, you might be able to mix up some 230 in an un-bright shade in a rattle can

Might be wanting some of that meeself

 

The SN grapevine working at it's best,blame him anyway for disturbing my thought's off your paint code

 

I pointed him in your direction Best i know there could be 3 shades of 230 but there is no way to determine the right one without having a trained eye match it up....

 

Appreciated mate

 

Primed and ready for paint . Question, should i use both stickers ?

 

One sticker
Mercedes Duenenbiege code 791
Mercedes Sanidinbiege code 798 [The best choice imho]
Nissan Hazy gold code E51
Renault Biege Poivre code 220116 [also a strong contender]
