Title: Facelift 17" alloys paint colour?
Post by: jjleonard on 11 January 2009, 16:25:31

Having done the traditional new year finances review I've decided to go down the route of refurbing my alloys myself.

I have read several guides on detailing world and here regarding filling the scuffs and scratches on the wheels, and I'm happy to do one wheel at a time (I haven't got a full sized spare I can leave on the car so it'll have to be done one day at a time per wheel!)

Does anybody know what paint colour is used on the facelift 17" alloys? I want to touch up the filled areas rather than respray the whole wheel. I'm assuming I'll have to get a rattle can from VX.

Cheers
John.
