cheechy Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Can anyone help me?? What is the colour of the Bora SE and Sport alloys (which I think is the standard for almost all the golf / passat / bora range) as I want to touch up a few minor scuff marks? Or is this not advisable? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheechy Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Ok I'll give up on this one then! Is it not advisable to patch up wheels? I've only got a couple of scuff and chip marks that I want to patch up. I'm getting shot of the car within the next 6 months so don't want to put too much money into refurbing the wheels...... If I'd called this Golf alloy wheel colour do you think I may have got more responses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I doubt many people know - you could try asking Wickedwheels or someone like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I got my R32 alloy fixed at VW in Kirkcaldy and when they called VW for the alloy wheel colour VW refused. They guys the simply used a set of colour patches and matched the colour. Job Done!! So, in answer to your question its quitely likey that no-one will know the real colour so you can't get a match.... have to buy a new wheel from VW!?! However, prior to my bruv getting his wheels refurbed he used a tin of silver Hammer-rite Smooth and did the job himself - easy peasy and unless you took a close look you wouldn't noticed they'd been scuffed and touched up! He used, fine sand paper, mini files (fine), and an artist paint brsuh to work on the small areas - take your time and I'm sure you'll get the done. Oh, also buy a wee tube of clear laquer, nail poish will do, to give the repainred area some shine!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheechy Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hammerite! Man I could paint the rose climber frame and paint a radiator at the same time (sorry it just sounds a bit silly). Its certainly worth looking at though - even if it protects the wheel from starting to corrode. I got the patch kit from vw thats comes with the paint and laquer so I'll be able to use that ok. Who was it you used in Kirkcaldy - I'm only ten minutes away in Kelty? Oh and cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
