There will be a small tag on the firewall with a paint code. I believe it is "Ivory White"

You will need to find an automotive paint supplier who can mix some up for you.

Otherwise, the small ($$$) touch-up cans from repco/bunnings.

Export will do the trick :D iv just used Matt Black i think the black gives a much tougher look! :cool:

not to sure whether to start a new thread or tag on to this one. i'm keen on painting my Classic Vogue rims black, from the original grey/green colour.

does anyone recommend a paint and/or a process for painting these rims.

I've checked out other automotive threads and noticed that they mention VHT paint a fair bit. Has anyone any experience using this paint on their classic rims.

Cheers

I got the local crash repairer to mix up a litre of "Chawton White" enamel. Sanded and sprayed the rims myself. Cost about $30 from memory - but that was 2 years ago. Still got 1/2 a litre of it in the shed (painted 6 rims).

Rims looked excellent for a year or so. Now have a few chips in them, but it doesn't really bother me that much. Powder coating might last longer, but for $30 it was a good enough job for a cheap price.

Chawton White was the white they used for the body on mine (2002 130) so I just got the same for the rims.
