I was messing with my Utec and run into a curb...light rash.... anybody know the paint code for the BBS wheel's?....

HJ

 

gunmetal..? They use paint??

 

mybada, I see you know nothing about painting...I will just remove the tire and scan the surface to match the color.....sometimes I just don't know about people, you ask for a hand and you get some wise a@@ remark....This is the only thing I don't like about this forum.....too many kids.....Now for the one's that help out a fellow Evo owner....my hat is off too you!!

i assumed it was graphite grey cause it seemed to match pretty well on the car..not 100% sure but i would think you could buy some graphite grey "touch up" from the dealership & fix your boo-boo for under 20 bucks...good luck

 

After scaning the wheel with a PPG scaner I came up with

DBC Deltron
DBC 3751

who ever my be interested....I used DBC so that I could use house of kolor reducer...

Oh the wheel came out perfect...

HJ

 

your mixing PPG paint and house of color reducer , I would never do that . why doint you use DRR reducer which you are to with DBC paint , Comeing from a painter just my .02

 

DBC , PPG , GCG TSC, GGH = ME LOST! hehe

 

I don't think he was giving a wise a$$ remark. He was asking if the wheels were painted and not annodized. That's why he put question marks after the words. That means it's a question, but way to jump to a conclusion and act like one of those people on here who throws up a wise a$$ remark. I hipe you curb the rest of your wheels, you deserve it if you are road tuning and trying to drive, dumba$$. At least you won't have to ask all the wisea$$es next time you curb your wheel cause you know the color now.

 

I'm SORRY....I just thought everyone knew the wheels were painted not annodized...... ....(he didn't ask this ) But you can wish anything you want on me...Your like mind over matter....I don't mind and you don't matter.... No really...can't we all just get along? This internet thing is like this at times.... Besides i just turned on my lap top to long out of log#1....mistake on my part.

It's so easy to read into a post and jump...my bad, and for that I'm sorry. Also coming from a painter....you can use House of kolor....RU's for this kind of PPG paint....That's why I had it mixed that way....I have a ton of House of kolor products froming painting vehicles...and a few helmets. It won't blow up on you....great for quick fixes!!!! Sorry guys....my bad. Peace Love....

Can one of you post a link on how this is done? I have no idea what the acronyms mean but I'm in a situation where I want to find out the closest paint color for my hyperblack Enkei RPM2 rims. I called Enkei to see if they have touch up paint kits and they have none. I asked for a paint code and they could not provide one as they said it was a 3 step paint process. I want to find the color of this rim:


I know I will not get a perfect match, but I sure would like to come up with something close.

Do I throw my rim on my home sanner or is special equipment needed? Can someone post a step by step on how the paint color number was found in this case?
Thanks.

 

wow...you have 7 posts and you are already stereotyping the whole evom board.

congrats on fixing the wheel though.

 

I'm sorry if it seemed that way....I wasn't attacking the board as a whole.....Yes just 7 posts.....But I've been watching and listening from Dec 0f 2003....I wanted an evo for sometime now.........Sorry to all on this board!!!

Also ntnct look in the yellow pages for a auto paint store in your area that sells PPG products.....Give them a call to see if they have a PPG scanner....our any other ones on site.....I forgot...the scanner likes to have a flat surface to scan......take the tire off of the wheel.....have them scan the inter surface of the wheel...the person my try to tell you that they need a flat surface, but ask them to try.....it can be done.....once its scaned the computer will give them a tint guide to mix the color for you.
