Can anyone recommend a 3M vinyl that most closely matches the OB5?
I am going to decal/racing stripe my car and want to match the wheel color.

Thx.

if that’s the Platinum satin that was referred to in the thread I used a 3M product. It was called 1080. I believe they have a new number now.
1080 M261
Matte dark gray
Best

I went back to the color wheel just to make sure and I think I’m incorrect. I think it’s 1080 – S261 satin dark gray.

There were a couple questions regarding a powdercoat formula to match 0b5.
I had a swatch of this powercoat sample next to a factory wheel in the bright sunlight, looked like a match to me.




Also, I plan to give this wheel cap to my painter. We'll see what he thinks.

Sorry, I can't seem to follow the whole thread. Did you end up finding out what powder coating color most closely matches the satin platinum??

Someone told me it was one color, but it looks much darker than it should... thanks!

I had my Rotiform forged monoblocks painted in Platinum Satin on one side of my car. I was going to go light gold like the GT3 wheels. But I liked how my OEM color went with the Guards Red. It looks bronze in the light and almost black without the sunlight.
