V-11 wheel paint color?

[Twin AH]

Hi all.

Was wondering if anyone out there in V-11 land would be able to answer these questions definitively?

1 - Are the dark grey wheels on the 2002-05 V-11 a paint or a powder coat?

2 - Does anyone have the paint color code for the wheel for a factory match?

 

Thx in advance.                            Ciao

It's paint.

 

Within a few months of owning my 2002, I was removing the front wheel and forgot to remove the brake calipers.... and BANG!!, scratched up the rim badly 

 

So I carefully taped the rims along the sharp edge of the plateau where the spokes attach, and then used "aircraft stripper" to remove the paint along outside section of the inside of the rim, and the outer side/edge.  It actually turned out quite nice considering where it started out as a minor disaster.

 

Not a great photo, but you can somewhat see what I'm describing below, and compare it with the rear wheel which at the time of the photo had not been stripped yet.

Thx Al.

 

Mine has many imperfections so it will need complete repaint.

Any idea of where I might get the color code for that wheel color?

I don't want to have to do the front in order to match up the two perfectly.

 

Regards.

Cannot your local autobody painter computer scan and match the paint?

Hey Docc.

 

Well if all else fails..... I'm hoping

...or maybe just a new color of your preference to change it up?

You must know me by now..... all factory for my Spinys.
