Re: Paint codes?

Strangely enough, the coating is not paint... They use powder coating to get that 'enamel' look and provide superior scratch resistance...
From memory, Vermillion Red is about a close as you can get for paint, which by the way flakes off from engine bay heat... I would hazard a guess that buying proper bronze coated rims would give you that true bronze look. Otherwise paint will flake off the metal when your rim expands from brake rotor heat...
