My rear arches need a little attention. Mine is same colour as the one in Entwoods avatar. Like a pale gold.
Halfrauds have what appears to be a close match in their VX range of colours. They call it 'Sovereign Gold'. No specific paint code that I can see.
Any ideas as to whether this is the official VX name for the colour ?
Cheers.
-
best way to get a match is to have it made up
-
Entwoods is "Champagne" but be careful, there is also an "Oyster" which is a silver/campagne cross.
See the guide on paint codes to make sure you get the right colour to start with.
But that colour won't match going by the name.
-
'Champagne Gold' is what I always thought mine was as well, but wasn't sure whether that was the official VX name.
I guess having it mixed would be the best option, but can that be supplied as an aerosol ?
The job doesn't warrant using a compressor and paint gun.

Would a vx touch up pen be too small?

you can buy rattle cans from stealers they are a good match colour wise i got some magic grey metallic with a can of clear coat & change from a tenner
-
Even better.
-
it can be titanium gold like my last omega

I spoke to a paint supplier in Scotland last week re solvent based paints that are not available here in Ireland and after giving him my code which is Z489 Champagne , he told me there are 8 different shades.

Cool beans :y So, mine is 489/68L: Champagne Met (96-)
-
hope you make a better job of it than i did :(
-
Even if Stevie Wonder did the job, it would look better than it does now with the rust and blistering paint.
-
i used Holts dupli-color, matched in perfeik, can hardley tell, used Halfauds fist time and looked a mess.
-
Never seen good dys job yet. ESP if it's Rusty. ;)

You not seen any of my work then, but I only paint with an air brush, works for me, mind not done it for years now... ::) ::) ::)

Mine is Champagne 68L.
I got a made up aero from Halfrauds and it matched perfectly, the spray head was a far better quality than the off the shelf ones too. A tad expensive at £13.00 but well worth it.......and strangely enough seemedto contain more than the normal ready made ones off the shelf.
I will definitely be using them again for more and have bought an extra as a standby for the inevitable touch up needed by lousy parkers and trolley idiots.
Take your car to them and let them look at the paint code on the vin plate.

ive read (and you can google this) that using a small roller would work as it gives a more even spread. certainly :). anyoner ever tried?
