PPF7 Wheel Colour
Hi
The Prodrive website only lists the PPF7s as available in Gold or Bright Flitter.
I don't think the ones on my car are either.
The picture shows what colour they are, can anyone offer any idea of a colour name or paint code?
Cheers
Steve

We only sell them in the UK in Gold & Bright flitter but they have been made for other markets in Anthracite as well. The reason we only did one colour 9other than the WR1 special spec) was to avert exactly this issue where you're not sure which shade of grey they are!!
Some anthracite wheels have appeared in the UK via dubious sources though so you may have some of these. We don't have a paint code though as the paint system used isn't recreatable outside the factory.

There's no usable paint code for any of the wheels unfortunately. The numbers are specific to the coating system used at the factory and aren't replicatable without the whole process being in place.

Tried one of my pff7 replicas Grey/anthracite just to see if i liked them grey rather than gold on dbm however car really looked dull with darker wheels so i werent a fan so sprayed it bk gold again-pretty sure though i will check in a bit (if ive still got the aerosol)this were storm grey not sure of car manufacturer type though will confirm later-bear in mind these arent laquered so will go a touch darker after.

Not as hard as ya may think,just mist it on to cover the base then on the 2nd coat just put it on more liberally, generally ya just gotta be fast with the can if you dont it`l puddle and run though the more ya can get on keeping it wet without it running the better finish you get-i always spray left to right and with wheels generally do them leaning up against something as the cans spray better in the upright position, though obviously theres parts of the wheel when its not always possible and make sure you start and finish spraying off of the wheel as they sometimes spit.
Didnt try and make a good job to be honest it were just to see if i liked em grey-i could have made alot better job than that turned out and spent longer on it/finished with laquer etc.
