Title: Cromadora silver grey wheel colour

This may have been asked before but any idea what the paint spec is for Cromodora 6J wheels is?

Thanks

Tim

Vauxhall Star Silver!   Vauxhall Corsa I think.

Hi Robin

Having had a few Star Silver Corsas (don't ask but they do the job) Star Silver is too bright ie not enough grey...

I guess it would look ok though if nothing else comes out of the wood work.

Hi Tim,

Check out the Fanalone at the AGM - we think it's a pretty good colour and chugga recommended it!  8)

I bought a set of Cromadora wheels for my Fulvia a while back.  They need refurbishing and I'd appreciate any advice on two issues:

1) Does anybody know of a good wheel refurbisher/finisher in the North of England.  I live in West Lancashire but would be willing to take them anywhere in a 100 mile radius that can do a good job.   They were badly finished by a previous owner and have significant blistering so probably need chemical stripping or (gentle?) blasting.

2) Does anybody know the correct grey/silver colour for painting the wheels?   An earlier Forum thread talked about this but was not conclusive.  A Vauxhall color was recommended by one person, but challenged by another.

I used Ian Jemison for my Cromadoras and can recommend him; but he won’t use filler – so if they’ve had knock-on weights and the rims have suffered from galvanic corrosion they’ll be pitted – battle scars!

Whilst we’re on about wheel colours – does anyone know a RAL / colour reference for S2/3 STEEL wheels, the grey/silver. I had to touch up some rust bits/chips on a couple of the wheels and tried various manufacturers aerosols and all were way too silver, even Eastwood’s Argent Silver Wheel Paint, so I ended up making my own colour adding Humbrol Grey enamel to the Eastwood Silver.
