Libre paint color

Post by Dano »

I'm cleaning up a set of American Racing Libres and want to paint them Gun Metal Grey. Does anyone have any color codes or suggestions? I believe the originals are just bead blasted and clear coated.All information/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks Dano

I used Duplicolor wheel paint, comes in various shades and then a clear to cover it all. Works great.

Those look great.I'm going to do a proper cleaning to remove the brake dust and grease.Simple green might do the trick.

Yep. Simple green or "marine clean" or similar degreaser. Follow up w/ dust removal, then wheel paint and clear.

Cheers
