Respray

Post by **R_Parr** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 11:19 pm

I'm thinking of respraying the white wheel rims, I want to do this myself so can anyone recommend a retailer or specific colour i can respray with?

Cheers.

They should be Old English White - get cans from BullMotif,and others of course. Some say Rover Aran White is very close - probably get that in Hellfrauds.

Arum, I think, not aran. Probably wrong though

Your right BG - Arum White. VIN paint code NMF and BLVC code 449.
My TR7 is Aran Beige! Which is where the confusing occurs - happens all too easily these days !

You can also usually get Old English White spray paint under Rover in some car paint catalogues

when I was getting my wheels I think it was just listed in the rover section but the year was mid seventies.
Some local paint factors may be able to supply paint in aerosols too

Some Halfords will mix you up celly in a can, I got some OEW for my grille that way, else, buy it from the local paint factors and a cheap HVLP set.
