Hello guys! I have a particular dilemma, and wanted to know if someone could help out. A guy on a forum posted pictures of his painted wheels back when he did them; 2 years ago. I really like the color of his wheels and wanted to do mine using the same color that he used. He said he used a spray can but did not mention what brand/color...etc. If anyone can help with locating the official name of the paint so that I can buy some myself,I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

From the looks of the picture we do not offer this color in the Dupli-Color line however we do have a color that is somewhat close. It is our Bronze HWP105 High Performance Wheel Paint.

A color that might be even closer and also has the same matte finish is our new Engine Metallic Coating in the VHT line. It is engine enamel but will work just fine on wheels. The color you will want to go with is the SP404 Gold Flake. This line is brand new so it may not have hit the shelves in your local auto parts store yet.

So is there a good way to match your text color to the paper or pp you are using or is it just trial and error?
