Paint code for wheel hubs?

Canuck · #1 05-11-2005, 06:32 PM

I need to touch up the hub dust covers on my stock rims. Does anyone know of a paint code etc. that matches?

If your talking about the centre caps, this is what I used. Dupli-Color T178 Silver Metallic. You can find it at most reputable parts stores I would think. Click on the link below for pic of mine after I painted mine.

Did I see recently a thread about the different wheel/center caps colors and the pertinent years for those colors?

I searched, but 'found' no real discussion of the two or three colors used on our O.E. wheels.
Didn't mean to hijack this thread, it just seemed like a fairly obvious extension...
Any help...I'm doing complete paint, so I want to do wheels too.
Thanks, mile-hi-bri - Brian

There's a list of paint colors and procedure for painting in the "HOW TO" locker. I used a Datsun paint color for the centers of my 94 wheels (which are on my 92) -- I'd had the paint on them for two years when I wrote the how-to, I think -- they're still perfect. On the "grey" 92 wheel caps, I used a color called "Burnished Silver" that matched wonderfully -- can't remember whether it was Duplicolor or Plasti-Kote -- Got it from Advance Auto, though.

Sorry, the other reply from my Treo didn't take.

I was saying what ar the odds of two guys, both owning an SVX and both being on this forum?
