Rover 75 wheel colour ?
I have a rover 75, and need to refurbish 2 wheels,
does any one know what colour will match ?
the wheels are Union style, and appear to be of a silver type, but quite heavy in metalic,
ive had two quotes by wheel specalists, one for £100 per wheel, and the other wouldnt touch them,
also I had some paint made up in an areosel can, but I am not happy with the colour
regards

I will try Montys wheels,
also the ones on Fleebay have all gone for 100 + per wheel plus postage,
I know i seem to have about 30 in my fleebay saved searches, also If I paint two, they will stay on one side, so wont clash,
but thanks for the comments
regards

On the union pattern the metallic flakes in the finish are quite big I also think they were given a clear coat on top of the silver base.
If colour match is the only problem the answer is of course fit both wheels to the same side.
I think the new price of these wheels is about £150 each ---- so alternatively buy new ones sell the old pair on ebay.

Standox scheme 510 silver basecoat, clearcoat over the top
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

There's a place in Tonbridge called Spit and Polish, might be worth a call. And only 3/4 of an hour from you.

Apart from Mark Allanson's post which is probably ideal, you could try Halfords Alloy Wheel paint in silver - it is a pretty good match for lots
of alloy wheels, and one tin is usually enough to give a quick cover to 4 wheels which can then be laquered - £10 all in, or £20 if you need two tins
of each to give a better finish.
