Hey,

I nabbed some Targa wheels on eBay. I got the fronts today (the rears are still being shipped). They have a few nicks. Dang nice, though, they will make great summer wheels. I wanted targa wheels more than any other style, and got them.

Is there some special paint that will match the color of the finish? Something at the stealership, perhaps, or something aftermarket that will hide the flaws? I want to take my time and do a good job on them before they go on the car.

Thanks

Wurth makes a silver paint that is supposed to be a very close match.
Hopefully others will chime in... PCA restoration expert John Paterek
would definitely know the answer.

search geolab, i think he just listed a recipe last week in another wheel painting thread.

Thanks Jeff, that's just the ticket.

if you couldnt find this thread, this was posted by geolab and its the formula for mixing quantities, if you are handy at and prefer using your hvlp spray gun versus a spray bomb.

This color comes originally in MAT. The shift **** brake handle wheels mirrors and door handles , Of Course, have lacquer applied after.
Keep this code handy, I had to be in germany and it wasn't easy to get.
