Doing a bit of refurb work on a set of facelift 5 spoke alloys.Anyone know the paint code for them ? Would like to get the correct colour if possible rather than Halfords silver wheels or similar.

Never used it, but I'm sure someone said that Wurth do a silver paint that's suitable

So they are almost exctly the same colour as the cars - if the car is silver ? I thought the wheels were a lighter colour.

Will I need wheel specific paint or lacquer, or will the normal aerosols be ok with several coats of lacquer to haelp with durability ?

Nope. This lacquer is one of the better ones, depends what you wanna pay

scratch resistant car laquer is best     but you need to buy them with hardener and you need a gun and need some practice on some test surface.. ratio is 2 laquer 1 paint .. they are both sold as 1 kg boxes
 
dupont-standox platinum , applied and tested even with 1500 sandpaper and sandpaper hardly works 

[cem_devecioglu]

and for paint if you have a paint gun (even a cheapo one will  be better than any spray box) why not
 
start with pearl white and add gray in portions of 50 grs .. and test them on a surface
 
I know its tedious but I like to play with paints

Dont have facilitites for that sort of thing Cem.It will be aerosols all the way Im afraid.

[albitz]

No compressor and no garage to keep one in either.
