OEM Cavalier Alloy Colour

Post by fontayne56 »

What's the best or closest colour to use to Spray my alloy wheels as they are looking a little tatty. As I cant find the correct colour. The Halfords Alloy wheel spray is way too dark !!

Cheers

As long as they're all the same it doesn't really matter, although as Gaz says I think Star Silver was the OE colour. Mine are actually quite a bit brighter, and I've had a sparkle flake added to them, but when I fit the brand new genuine centre caps they're an exact match! Go figure?!

I had a play with Star Silver 2 at the weekend. Its slightly darker than my cavalier alloy colour but I ended up spaying all the alloys as I was so impressed with the results.
