alloy wheel colour/paint.

Post by lozz »

Hi all .
Anyone know of a match or close match to what paint colour is used on pug alloy's.
I'm going to sand mine down and re-spray them.
And hopefully get them 'a 'bit more new-ish looking.

I've looked at 'halfords alloy wheel paint but that drys out 'greyish looking rather than silver..

Any ideas thanks.

I found that some of the Silver spray paints will dry to a different colour depending on the colour of the primer used.
