XES 859 Posted October 27, 2013 Hey guys. I've got a set of bf xr6 rims that I've fixed a heap of gutter rash and scuff marks on. Just wondering what silver/alloy color paint people use when they're respraying or touching them up. I've got them all prepped and ready to paint but the silvers I have are just too silver or bright to match the original paint. Cheers. 1 mcfly94 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XES 859 Posted October 27, 2013 Yeah the silver I've got (rattle can) is the bright killrust gal looking type and would look shit. What I want actually looks like the silver engine enamel I've got on my rocker covers. But I haven't got enough of that left for four wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
