galah66 Posted 30July, 2015 Report Share Posted 30July, 2015 Can anyone recommend a satin black paint to use for painting the original wheels? Trying to get as close as possible to factory look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted 30July, 2015 Report Share Posted 30July, 2015 In my investigations the Wurth Satin came recommended but found it difficult to obtain so went with a Septone Satin when I refinished my two rears. Unfortunately it's a bit too matt from the original fronts so I'll have to re-do.The biggest pain was 'cutting in' the edges. I couldn't find a method that gave a perfect finish.

Russ Posted 30July, 2015 Report Share Posted 30July, 2015 I used generic rattle can satin (from Repco - can't remember the brand) and it was a different colour. Will try the wurth stuff next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted 30July, 2015 Report Share Posted 30July, 2015 The painting method in that photo Russ is unreal! Wouldn't have been possible on the earthquake ravaged Sunshine Coast...Galah - are you going for black centres or petals as above? Just taping the edges or using some other elaborate method?

galah66 Posted 30July, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 30July, 2015 Yes black centres as it was delivered. Will tape edges so nothing too elaborate - just have to figure out the best tape to use. Have experimented with a few so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have experimented with a few so far!You can order the Wurth paint directly from them or most good bodyshops will either have or can get it. http://www.wurth.com.au/en/wurth_au/index_3.phpIf you are going taking the old paint back to metal get the Wurth primer too.Normal masking tape will give you a ragged edge when you peel it off, so get some "Fine Line" tape most 3M stockist,bodyshop suppliers even bunnings?http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/321751780291?limghlpsr=true&hlpht=true&ul_noapp=true&hlpv=2&chn=ps&lpid=107&ops=true&viphx=1 HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydr Posted 30July, 2015 Report Share Posted 30July, 2015 Can anyone recommend a satin black paint to use for painting the original wheels? Trying to get as close as possible to factory look. It doesn't have to be matt black y'know. My car came factory delivered with the wheels matching the body colour - guards red. Easier to match. Looks good - in my opinion.For the record, 1984 Carrera - one owner since new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
