carat alloys- colour match?

Post by Westy End »

Hi all,

Does anyone know a good colour match for the original carat alloys (I know they are silver but there are many shades). I want to refurb the centre caps.

thanks

Take the centre cap to halfwits and check it against their stock.Or your local auto paint supplier who should be able to match it for you.
