Need to repaint Breyton Visions

mds82 · 03-24-2006, 11:36 AM

Hey everyone. I have a used set of Breyton Visions 19's that i need to get refinished, but most places i've gone to say they dont have a paint that will match or even look like the factory finish. I was wondering if anyone had any experience finding a bright silver paint that looks similar. The finish is much more fine then our OEM wheels and i want to keep it that way. Here is a picture even though it doesnt do justice to the finish. any sugestions??

take a look at the "repairing wheel scuffs" DIY. Maybe there are some ideas in there that would help you.

looked already, just regular wheel paint - it is much duller looking then the finish for these.

Has anyone ever heard of SHadow Chrome or Ghost Chrome?

I dunno about the matching paint for those rims but another option is get them refinished or powdercoated in a custom finish.

i think you can go to a body shop and they can color match it. if that shop have the color match system.

There are a ton of places on Long Island that can do this for you. Notices you're in CT, so the trip may be worthwhile to have it done professionally.

its not so much the color of the paint, its the finish that he paint has. most wheel paints are like a metalic paint, where you can see the little pieces of metalic reflecting. the finish on these is almost perfectly flat but yet still very metalic looking. Its almost as if its a chrome finish, but its paint. This is the stuff i was talking about, but its just so pricy $$$ http://www.alsacorp.com/products/gho...t_prodinfo.htm
