In the process of refurbing a set of clones; i've got a couple which are near perfect and a couple which i'm re-painting.
Could anyone recommend a decent colour math, or at least decent paint to use for the wheels; i've used general halfrauds "alloy wheel paint" before and often seems pretty naff.

Isnt there 2 shades used anyway? One set of mine seem to be a lot 'brighter' than the other set, both have been cleaned in the same and waxed the same, so its gotta be the actual colour that's different.
Welshpug probably knows the paint code(s) though...

The paint code is available in the dark corners of T'web. I found something ages ago from a paint manufacturer listing their codes for car manufacturers wheels.
