jumping350 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Dilemma time. Have got one brand new Rota GTR flat black with red lip and one butchered Rota GTR that was gloss black. Long and short the butchered one has been refurbed by me and is now flat black. I have searched high and low on the net as Rota wont give you a paint code for the lip and some people seem to have matched Peugeot red to the lip. Went and got the paint and it looks way off, What should i do? -Would the red I have (that the net seems to say is a match) darken over the current flat black paint? -Take the wheel to halfords and sit there until I find a red that matches (bear in mind it needs to be sprayed over black so do i get a slightly lighter shade? -Just take it to a professional to match (I did start the job and would like to finish it as ive got this far) I know both wheels are on opposite side of the car but need to match the front wheel with the new rear so will need to find a colour close enough Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Take the wheel to a paint supplies shop and get them to match it for you . I've done it before and it was a good match and they put it into a rattle can for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
