Touch up paint

[Lancer1993]

I've used Plastidip but not to this extent.

Also anyone know the dif between the regular colors and BLAZE for Plastidip?

Blaze are neon colours so really flashy bright colours usually cheaper to

You won't find the wheel paint code.

You will have to take a wheel some where that can make you some paint by colour matching.

Not going to lie, I think the Plasti dip Blaze is utter crap. It doesn't fade well, I bought pink for my Lancer LX, and within a couple of weeks it turned a reddish/orange colour. I know there have been a few other cases where it has done the same thing with a few different colours.

Before:


After it turned a reddish/orange colour:


I have had a purple Dupli Colour on my front Mitsi logo for a good 12-14 months and it hasn't faded one bit. I find the product a lot nicer to use and it gives a nicer finish IMO.

I have the non blaze yellow PlastiDip on the rear wing cutouts. Hard to tell if it's faded much in the last 18 months, maybe a little but it still looks good. More recently I did the removable plastic on the side mirrors and got plans for some out bits.

So is there now a race to see which bits of our CJs get painted with PlastiDip or wrapped LOL

Thing I like about wrap or PD is later it can easily removed if you sell or decide to change it.

Hi,

No idea if this is the right place to ask but I can't find the information anywhere.

I'm looking for the Paint Code for the Mitsubishi Lancer VRX Grey/gunmetal Wheels/Rims. I got these second hand so no idea what car they came from. I have a few scratches I'd like to touch up so need someone.

I've put them on my black CJ lancer 2010.



If I can't find it, can someone recommend a place who will match the paint and provide a small bottle of touch up paint in Victoria, Melbourne.

I asked the same question here a while back when I wanted to paint my stock RalliArt rims in the original gunmetal colour, but the responses I got suggested that it would be difficult if not impossible to find the colour code. What I ended up doing is getting the colour mixed, and that worked out pretty well.

You can get the colour mixed into aerosol cans at Supercheap Auto. They also have touch up pens and kits, but I doubt you'll be able to find the exact colour.

Maybe try Bunnings, I understand they have a scanner that can workout the color code from a sample... not sure how you'd get the wheel in to scan it but it might be worth a shot. Also call around paint shops they might have similar tech?

Autobahn can match it and give you a spray can of the matched colour. Otherwise there are specialized shops that sell
paint for cars etc: Or your panel repair shop can match it.
