Spartacus Rim Repair and Paint Match - Info

Post by esager »

Hi folks

I was repairing my Spartacus wheels - major curb rash on the spokes and lip edge of the wheel from prior owner. Ugly! Used bondo and wet and dry sanding, ending with custom-ordered matching paint after reading forum after forum on what color this was. I ordered Silver color 936 and primer and clear coat.

Guess what? It's not the right match!

I did some trial and error (very frustrating) but did find a very close match in
Dupli-Color Perfect Match spray paint from O’Reilly Auto Parts.
Specifically BCC0338 Radiant Silver Metallic.

Hope people find this useful.

Eric

Thanks Eric. Sorry you had trouble matching it. Can you post a photo(s) of your work when you're done?

BMW Polaris Silver (060?) is a popular silver wheel color. Don't know if it would match what you have.
