Bronze paint on Aoshima wheels
Does anyone have a close match to the Bronze paint used on the new Aoshima 19's (The TE37s, specifically)? I pulled some paint off the spokes while masking for the chrome trim ring, and I'd like to repair it. Thanks!

Re: Bronze paint on Aoshima wheels
Plastikote had a color that was very similar to the color in question but I no longer have the code for it. Either Pep Boys or Wal Mart should have it in stock.

Re: Bronze paint on Aoshima wheels
In case anyone is searching this topic in the future:
Follow up - I never found the Rustoleum or the Duplicor paints, our Wal-Marts are pretty shoddy up here. What I did discover though, is that Testors Burnt Iron Non-buffing Metalizer is a spot on match for the dark bronze on Aoshima's newer, 19" Volk TE37s and CE28s.

Re: Bronze paint on Aoshima wheels
The darker color. I agree Aoshima painted them dark, but I wanted to match their color. Sorry I can't help you. Maybe if you use the Testors Metalizer line and add a touch of brass to magnesium, you can get that? I think that line of paints has such tiny metallic flakes, that they can match that texture. I don't know how to get that exact color, though.
