pinstripe paint matching

Post by 86capriasc »

Hi, I have a set of aftermarket wheels that I am repainting and would like to know a perfect or almost perfect match to the pinstripes. My stripes are faded pretty bad so if anyone has refineshed their rims and has a paint code to match the new stripes I would greatly appreciate it. Or maybe if someone could send me a small sample of a new stripe so I can have it scanned to match that would be great also. I am hoping to repaint the car over the winter and apply new stripes. I would hate to match what I have now and have to redo them later.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Jim,

Just to let you know I received your letter. Thank You very much for the helpful info. I will post pics of the rims soon to get some opinions of how to paint them. Also thanks to every one else who replied. I still wish there was was a fellow asc owner near me that I could meet up with. It is kind of lonely over hear in Wisconsin with the only asc that I have seen.

Later All,
Mike
