Paint code for MR wheel's
 

I was messing with my Utec and run into a curb...light rash.... :mad: 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!! {thumbup}

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{thumbup}

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...

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...... :crap:....(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.... :eek: No really...can't we all just get along? This internet thing is like this at times.... :crap: 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....

Herb :D

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. :rolleyes:

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. :D
