Default Volk racing bronze...?

Hi guys,

Getting bored of my black RPF1's on silverstone, and looking to paint them the Volk racing wheels bronze. Anyone painted anything this bronze already, and know my best options for sourcing/finding out the colour?

I know it will never be a 100% match as the volks seem to be anodises(?), but I'm sure I can get almost there with spray paint of powdercoat?

Few pic of the colour I'm after, which I'm sure most of you are familiar with

I had my BBS's done in a Fiat 750F Marron Volciano at Lepsons. Possibly the closest you'll get to the Volk colour.

the CE28 Bronze is anodise colour, you will need a specialist who can do anodise colours to spray your wheels.

Awesome, cheers guys!

The Fiat paint, is that gloss, or matt with lacquer applied? I'm after a matt finish on the spokes with a gloss finish on the rim I think.

Anyone know somewhere I can go and just say "Hello good sir, a can of your finest Fiat 750F Marron Volciano paint please?" and they make one/hand one over?

Find the colour code and get halfords to mix it.
