Touch up Paint for NB8B Wheels

Postby FoxForceFive » Thu Apr 03, 2008 12:23 am

Does anyone know a pressure pack colour that is a good match to touch up NB8B wheels? Ive got a gutter rash i'm going to try to fix up.

it looks pretty similar to the body paint used for the NB8B. I'm looking to get some of this paint as well to use on the body as well as the wheels.

From the big forum,

Duplicolor \"Subaru Quicksilver\" code 262 SU 01345.

RustOleum \"Silver Metallic” 7271

I haven't bothered trying to find them locally yet. Keep us updated.

Has anyone managed to source either of these ?

Repco stock Duplicolor but do not have a listing for this colour.
Autobarn will mix paint but their computer system did not list SU 01345 either. They did have a listing for 262 which is a Honda Silver which I got them to supply me in a tin so I could touchup the gutter rash with a brush. Problem is it goes on looking metalic but when it dries it is flat and none of the metalic flakes are visible.

Yup I got the scooby doo colour for the centre caps on our NB8A wheels (on Matty's recommendation). Its a perfect match.

It's not a flat colour (comes out in small \"flakes\") so make sure you do a few test sprays off the area before you hit your wheels with the paint.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
