I am finally going to have my Ti wheels refurbished in the next few weeks and wondered if anyone has the paint code for the graphite colour version please?
There's a couple of posts on this, one of the lads had his done in 693/b grigo, which seemed to be a close match.
I just picked mine from my wheel refurbisher's catalogue of standard colours - it's an. Aston Martin colour, but in matte finish, rather than gloss, I'm very pleased with them.
I like the look of matt finish wheels....just not the practicality. Gloss is smooth and shiny and easy to wash or wipe grime off…..matt is not so the brake dust gets into the roughness of the paint and unless you clean then very often they can quickly look very dirty with inground and near impossible to remove dust.
I have to admit, I've not found it an issue, certainly no harder to shift than regular gloss wheels - and the're no real roughness to the paint that I can detect.
on the advice of the wheel restorer, I only use warm soapy water, no wash & wax stuff, and they come up like new - I probably clean the car on average once a month - although winter's drawing in, so probably just has it's last clean until Christmas time!
Fair enough.....I wash mine EVERY week...without fail....usually on my day off (Friday!)…..or a Thursday even if its AOC night!! I feel guilty If I miss a weekly car wash.....unless its really raining hard! Neighbours think I'm mad out there washing the car in the light rain!!
is there an online shop that you have tried for wheel paint?
I would like to try a diy on my wheels...
