these wheels ( they were in Rough Shape) scratches on most of the spokes and chips out of the paint
in this color
i am having Collision and Refinishing Day Class do some painting on my wheels
the paint code is GM WA 9243, 36724 is the formula. This paint is the OEM "Competition Grey" that the 2006+ Corvette useses. There will be a small difference ove the OEM, i am substuting the Pearl mix ( sherwin williams PT8) for a different pearl (sherwin williams PT30) that has more of a color shift and will have more depth when the sun hits it. The color will remain the same.
so the progress pics
and now for some color testing
from LEFT to RIGHT
Stock "Competition Grey > Competition Grey with an Added Pearl in the base coat > competition grey with a Pearl clear coat, making it a Tri Coat Paint
some more shots
The Final product, the Class got done Painting these yesterday
after they were cleaned they were primed, and then 2 coats Competition Grey Base Coat with 2 coats of Pearl Mid Coat and then 3 coats of clear.
some up close shots
These wheels have the Darker Color that i wanted, and they EXPLODE with flake when the sun hits them, its remarkable what some Pearl will do. I do have to wait 90 Days till the VOC's get out of the paint, then i can give them a good coat of protection with some wax and a sealer
its also nice to have the ability to mix custom colors
