Default White Compomotive Paint

I have a set of white MO's and I don't want to have the whole wheels refurbed, so I want to just spray around the rim and then cut the paint in. Only problem is I can't get a white paint to match. Can anyone tell me either the correct code or a white that will match as good as possible.

Cheers!

It will look shit IMO...

Unless you key the whole alloy, blow round the outer edge with basecoat then clear laquer over the whole alloy ....... OR paint the whole alloy white...

What he said...


Get the whole wheel repainted... Even the best colour match will still stand out


Its your wheel your choice, I know what i'd go for

Nice to see you around Damo! - I agree it will not be the same as a full job but the wheels are very clean apart from the edge. It just seems like over-kill to paint all the wheels when a touch up is all they need.
And I could not paint them myself anyway, while I could mask off paint the edge and cut in? Prehaps if I laquer them afterwards anyway?

But you, Freddy_mercury_magic and Rick are all right, it would look much better if the whole wheel was done. I am just a tight bastard!
