Question to owners of 10 Spoke Shadow Chrome wheels

One my OEM 10 spoke shadow chrome wheels has sufferered from a major stonechip and needs some refurbishing/repainting but not one of the paintshops in my area seems to be able to exactly match that colour. They can do standard silver, anthrazite, gun metal whatever but they all say they wont be able to exactly reproduce that special shadow chrome shine. effect Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry


Is somebody out there who has managed to have a shadow chrome wheel repainted? SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

Yes I had 2 done. Both on same side of car and so I havn't done a side by side comparison but they look the same. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I am glad to hear that, VA!

Would be helpful to know if the paintshop has "measured" and mixed the colour or did they get the original paint from LR? SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

No idea - when I asked him to do the work he wasn't too fussed about it and said he knew all about LR wheels. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
