Paint code on Stock MKIV TT wheels?

[Ozz89supra]

Well I have my rims off my car right now, and one of the center caps is fading, my question is what is the color code for the rims and center caps? I want something that is going to match pretty good with the wheels. Thanks Ohhh btw this color....

and here is the center caps :3d_frown:

I might just pain all 4 wheels also not sure yet. Thanks!

i found a really close color in just a rattle can for my 91 5 spoke wheels.
even with a good was from just 5ft away you cant tell.

Do you remember the brand or what the color was called? Thanks!

Ozzy, I know Home Depot carries quite a selection of Rustoleum spray paint, I can almost guarantee you you can find something very close. The store I work at has at least 15 different types of gray...

I used duplicoat, and I thought it matched the stock color of the TT wheels very well. Not just the color, but also the shine or the finish looked oem to me too. I got it from advanced auto, and the color was stated simply as "silver". There was no other silvers. I might have some pics around if you want to see them.

My advice would be just make sure you degrease the hell out of your wheels, and use a good primer.

Thanks guys! I might just sand all of them and re-paint them all so they all match, that way they all look fresh and match for sure. But if I do that I might wanna do some crazy color. Any suggestions? My car is red BTW

Back when my car was red (3e5 I believe the tag said?) I always thought a dark bronze would look really good... Not a very "crazy" color, but red and "crazy" don't always look great together. Perhaps a really bright blue or yellow of some sort if you're looking to get a little attention...

Yeah i think its hard to make a red car look good with crazy color rims. I just think like black MKIV rims look lame, and im gettin sick of the silver on my car. I might do a charcoal color or maybe polish them. If anyone has pictures of a red mkIII with mkiv wheels painted or any color really please post them up!

These are a charcoal engine enamel (high temp) painted over a black paint that was already on them. Just a rattle can job, but they look alright. Hope the scenery isn't too much for ya.

Cool man, that looks just like Justins car, and Im guessing thats Clints? They dont look bad at all, specially for a rattle can paint job

My car doesn't look much like that at all anymore, but this picture was ~2+ years ago, back when I was living with Clint and his old lady.

For what it's worth, we painted those wheels about 30 minutes before these pictures were taken. I think the paint probably dried on the way there haha... I always thought it might be cool to mask off the spokes and paint the actual 'rim' of the wheel a different color, say... white?
