Mike D'Silva Posted 18November, 2014 Report Share Posted 18November, 2014 Im trying to get my replica cup rims painted the same bronze as Larry from Ammo NYC... just cannot really decide which colour is close enough to his... Also, should I get a matt finish or a satin finish? Here are some colours presented to me by the painter, then some pics of Larry's car in different lighting conditions.... Which one do you think looks closest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike D'Silva Posted 18November, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 18November, 2014 Found this thread.. http://www.scoobynet.com/members-gallery-5/948154-well-i-think-ive-finally-found-a-decent-rays-volk-bronze-paint.html People trying to replicate the Rays/Volk bronze colour... They claim a close colour is Fiat 750 Marron Volciano. I don't mind it at all... What do you think? First pic is the proper rim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 18November, 2014 Report Share Posted 18November, 2014 Larry Kosilla's 964. Thumbs up from me. I'd go for a bronze colour which has more brown than gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
