    I'm interested in fixing some dings on my wheel rims, and am having trouble getting a paint match. Anyone have a paint code or a formula for that color? 1988 T/R
    Thanks

    Get the color close then do all four. No one will know the difference. Fading and weathering come into play as well..

    I need it done correctly, not close, and the other wheels are perfect.
    There must be a code for this. Has anyone mapped this paint?

    I believe there is a thread with the paint code - I can't remember, sorry.. The one wheel is going to be very tough to match. The asbestos from the brakes creates a variance over time. Once you obtain the paint code and mixture - would still recommend doing all four but the choice is yours. Hopefully someone else can chime in and advise on the code you are looking for..

    Be well

    New paint will not match the old. They yellow with age. If you want a match you will need to paint all 4 as the others have mentioned.
