Exclamation PRODRIVE PFF-7's BRIGHT FLITTER COLOUR CODE

Hi All,
I have had loads of requests for the Colour Code for 18" x 8" PRODRIVE PFF-7's BRIGHT FLITTER. so here it is, nearly

SEAT 574/H2 GRIS SOMBRA TY
(the 4 may be a "U" his hand writings worse than mine)

This colour is slightly too light and will have to put a a spot more Black in it to Darken it to totally match the original colour

Tony

I think you may be right about the 4 being a U. but also the 5 is an S
So it's actually S7U for SEAT platinum.
Will confirm when I have tried some.

This is the reply I got back from the ebay 'paint touch-up' seller.

Hi There,
I've repaired these wheels before and the match i did from my colour chips was indeed Gris Sombra a Seat colour, code LS7U/H2.

Hope this is of help and we look forward to your order.


So I've just ordered a pot......

Excellent I did find that is was very slightly lighter comparing Old wheel to reprayed one. My M8 (paint mixer) darkened it up slightly to match perfect.

Well I had Seat colour, code LS7U/H2 mixed up and it's too dark and too grey.
The Bright flitter seems to be lighter and a bit bronzer.

I'm wondering if this colour is the match for the WR1 P-FF7's which I believe are slightly darker.

Scott,
The wheels were PFF7's not sure if the WR1 wheels were a different colour though!!

The person spraying the wheels found the the seat paint was the nearest swatch match, he then modified by eye to match

Here is the info off the Box and some other replies, if that will help

The only way to match the paint is 'by eye' from a specialist supplier.
But if you get the nearest match you can, then just respray both the wheels on that side

Sorry I can't be of much more help.

Tony

There is a thread somewhere which talks about the WR1 wheels being darker.
A guy parked next to one at PE and could clearly see the difference.

I even recall reading a thread which quoted the colour name, which wasn't 'Bright Flitter'.
