Paint Colour For Wheel Caps

[97JF]

Hi, I want to repaint the wheel caps for the original wheels on my 2000 GT as they are scratched, any idea what colour code or shade of silver it is I need? Thanks

Have you considered a vinyl option? We obviously have more colors to choose from and will be more that glad to do something custom.

Thanks for the reply but I prefer to go for the original look

pretty sure that stock wheels will not work with anything vinyl, your thinking aftermarket right?

Its going to be nearly impossible to get it perfect out of a rattle can. If you do not paint the entire wheel I am afraid that it will come put looking strange for you.

If the stock centercaps are flat, it will work just fine....

I do agree that it will be tough to match the color on the wheel.....

Anchor, i think he is referring to these which wouldn't work with your option

I'm sure a paint supplier would be able to match them pretty well and put it in a rattle can for you but at that point you might as well paint the whole wheel.

Ahhh... I agree it is possible, but certainly much more difficult.

vinyl could probably work but then again matching it perfectly, good luck. Plan a weekend when you are off and can be with out your car. Take the wheels off one and clean and scuff them and then mask them off. Paint them an leave them alone overnight and then re-install them.

Duplicolor wheel paint silver, I used it when I had my 00 GT wheels and it matched perfectly

Also they do make the decals for the spokes and center pony, you can see them in this pic
