Default *Pls Help* Rim Paint, Color Code, Problem.

Anyone have the code or know where I can get
a color chart for a Candy Red / Royal Red?
Adding a pearl coat, wouldn't that bring out the color
more rather than making it off color?

HELP ASAP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

This is what I was looking for with a hint of pearl

So I dropped off my rims at a shop to get them painted.
I asked for a deep red pearl. The guy showed me an
example in his color graph thing, and I was satisfied.

Came to the shop today to look at the finish product,
and I'm not fully satisfied.
In the dark, the paint looks like a copper penny color?
In the sun, it looks okay.

I'm paying for something that won't haunt me in the end.

2tone,

The Works seem to be a darker red.

But your wheels came out nice.

thank you man.
well i give them credit for the paint job,
but the color wasn't what we picked out and
not the color that i wanted.

we put it against my xB,
and it all looked weird.
i'm looking for a deep red like my tail lights.

so having silver, black, deep red, and a copper color
all together is too much.


imma try to go to the shop tommorrow
and tell them straight up how i feel.


thanks! bizump.

Put them on first and see what you think, if it still looks bad then get the guy to repaint them. Thats all i can say, atleast try them who knows, it might turn out much better than you expected.

Good luck bro.
