wardy 0 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Hi I want to get the wheels on my 2002 v8 refurbished. A local company who have a good reputation for the work quality tell me that the paint code I gave them is no longer available. AKZO NOBEL 7E85305 silver 6880302 black 5K20023 clear They are familiar with and use AKZO NOBEL paints but the supplier they use say the codes are obsolete Has anyone come across this and if so is there a new set of replacement codes. I want to keep the wheels original and so would appreciate any help with the paint codes Thanks Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wardy 0 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hi Just an update on the paint code question. The paint codes mentioned are good ( from LEW ) The wheel refurbish companys mostly use powder coating method. Akzo Nobel do supply the powder for this process but the OZ wheels are treated with "wet" paint, which is what the paint codes refer to. Regards Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Günter 28 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 you can scan the rims with a color-code scanner, to get a matching (wet) paint reference from different (or even original) paint-manufacturer.. -have done this with my S350 OZ-magnesios (endet up with a Lancia paint that was used on the refurbish prior to the sale to me, and the touch up bought was a really good match) Quote ********************************************************************* to name the things if I see them, that's what I call integrity.. ********************************************************************* Link to post Share on other sites

Regards Chris Hi Chris, Hope you are well and enjoyed your Route 66 trip. How did you get on refurbishing your wheels and can you remember the paint codes used? I am about to put my car in to have it detailed and the get the wheels refurbished so any info would be useful.
