Default gunmetal touch -up

having called at a local paint mixer ,he came to the conclusion that the following was the absolute closest to the gunmetal wheels


Toyota ID9 silver graphite (£6 plus vat)

which was mixed to use as a basecoat ,he also added 20% laquer so the paint had a similar look to the original laquered wheels


hope that helps

Default wrx gunmetal alloys

have tried my touch -up and its spot on ,in fact its a perfect colour match.So if u have a wrx with OE alloys which are the gunmetal colour this is the touch up for you,

ideally u need to sand down the kerb scuffs with some fine sandpaper first or ideally use on of those black and decker mouse sanders

ensure when u get ur paint mixed that they add 20% laquer
