NB8A Factory Alloy Wheel Cap Paint Colour
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2018 1:59 pm
I couldn't find an existing thread here to add this info in case it's of use to someone in the future...apologies if I missed one.
I've got a 1998 NB8A with the original factory 5 spoke alloy wheels. My plastic wheel caps had lost most of their paint and the yellow plastic was showing through. I wasn't sure what paint to use to match the wheels. Most forum posts on this topic were US and they usually referred to Rustoleum Silver Metallic, #7271. This doesn't seem to be available in Australia. There are other Rustoleum products but I could not be sure of a match.
Anyway, I have ended up using VHT High Temperature Wheel Paint colour SP186 Chevy Rally Silver.
I think it is an excellent match.
It seems to be generally available but the best price I could find for a 312g spray can was at Autobarn for $13.
