Okay so its about that time that i am due for a new set of tires and im also tired of the plain silver my Enkei NT03's came in so i settled on a color but i do not want to powder coat due to the fact that its pricey and can be ruined too easily for my taste. Now the real quesiton i cant seem to get answered is how to get a pint (or two) of a high temp custom colored paint to respray the wheels properly with a paint gun/compressor. When i search all different combinations of relevant terms i have yet to come across anything trully helpful

i hope the ower doesnt mind but this is the color i was looking into, almost a navy blue metallic.


maybe a website that can custom mix and ship colors? And again thanks for any help.

 

haha this is pretty funny im the exact situation and was looking for answers yesterday. the only progress i made was that apparently sherwin williams can mix automotive paint, and after looking at their website apparently it's true. i have not gone to the store to check it out so i have no idea if the do custom mixes. if you find anymore information let me know!

i love nt03's btw!

 

I used automotive paint on my volk gtn's and they have held up very well.

 

where did you go to get it?

 

yeah nd how did you go about achieving the exact color you want? i just didnt want to stick with a standard off the shelf rattle can on some decently nice wheels you know

 

PlastiDip Lol...
Im not sure if you will get the kind of blue you will want however.

 

Honestly if you are wanting a color like that, powdercoating would be the way to go. You can get all kinds of custom powdercoat colors, and usually cost around $75 a rim to do. Plus powdercoat will hold up a lot better than paint in the long run.

If you really decided to paint them, you can get pretty much any OEM color from automotivetouchup.com..it's already mixed and everything ready to spray out of the gun, no having to add thinner or anything. If you can find a similar blue that is an OEM car color just look it up on there and I bet you can find it.

 

It is an OEM color. It's the midnight blue the Fort GT came in.

 

i want the gold that work offers their wheels in but they dont release paint codes

 

thank you sir!! answer to my question lol okay so ill just get a good high temp primer and gloss to protect that paint. Im excited :}
