Gday everybody.

I am after the paint code for the 18 inch VT Commodore GTS rims. They are the gold/champagne coloured ones.

The local paint supply shop only makes the paint by the code.

All help will be appreciated with this.

Byron, I can get the silver info for you - give me a few days.

The gold will be a lot harder. I have the code for the inserts in the VT 50th Calais rims, and although its close, it appears that its not the same champagne gold as the HSV rims.

I have a local paint supplier near me, who will do a colour match from a sample. I repaired a VL once that had gold bumpers & lower door panels. I had to fit a new passenger door & guard (he left the door open & backed out of the garage).
The gold on the lower section was not the calais gold - someone had done it themselves.
I took the guard down so he could eyeball the colour, and he also used it as a sample pad for testing out a few variations in the mix until he got it right.
He actually started by finding a mazda colour that was very close, and played with the formula a little bit to get it perfect. Once the paint was on the new parts on the car, you wouldnt even know it was a different colour, and it was a better match than the paint code formula derived colour we used on the top half.

The trouble is finding someone like that in your local area.



Cheers,

Mick
