My old R34 I wanted to refurb my Te37s in a different colour, however you cannot get the bronze colour again, so I didn't either.

stephenwap · 26th June 2012, 10:08 PM

Yeah, they're not as bad as I thought they were and I really like the blue decals. I reckon they're gonna look well when I re-fit them

gillsl500 · 26th June 2012, 11:50 PM

I've got a link some where mate for a very good colour match for the Volk bronze, by no means identical, but blooming good!!

I had a set done some time ago and they were very good, i'l see if I can pull out some pics too?

stephenwap · 27th June 2012, 12:14 AM

That would be brilliant man thanks, I think I'd touch up the lips without respraying the whole wheel so that I can keep the textured finish

R322 · 27th June 2012, 09:21 AM

What about polishing the lips? Mind you bronze will still look better even if the colour is a little out as it's the lip and yes different texture to the spokes.

stephenwap · 27th June 2012, 11:51 AM

I thought about polishing the lip before but I've seen pics of it done and I didnt like it at all, hopefully the paint code I'm getting will be a good enough match to hide it

s2gtr · 27th June 2012, 12:21 PM

Had that done to mine after kerbing them, very pleased with the result

stephenwap · 27th June 2012, 04:48 PM

Yours do look very nice Dave but mine don't have as much of a dish on them so I don't think it would work as well

matty32 · 27th June 2012, 04:55 PM

his got the 19" TE37s, i assume you have the 18"s which as you say wouldn't really carry that off.

Here you go mate, hope it helps??

Rays Racing Bronze

Thanks man you're a legend

R322 · 28th June 2012, 08:48 PM

gillsl500 can you get that paint in a bigger size for a refurb for example?

s2gtr I miss my R34 too, how do you find it compares to the R35? Is is it more raw than the R35?

stephenwap · 28th June 2012, 09:39 PM

I looked at the site and you can buy 400ml and 500ml spray cans and also 1 litre tubs

R322 · 28th June 2012, 10:12 PM

Cheers bud, this is probably the closest to the Volk bronze colour
