Anyone happen to know.......

....the paint or color code besides bronze that they use for the Nismo and Volks wheels?

I want to powdercoat my stockers bronze and my guy did not seem to have any that looked like the right color.

Found this somewhere else:

If your looking for the same bronze from Volk, good luck. Volks bronze is anodized and not a powder coated color. Many people have tried to replicate the color with no success.

^^Crap! I was starting to think that may be the case since my guy is like the powdercoat king of Tampa and he was stumped. Back to the drawing board.

Maybe you can get it anodized. Call around shops that do chroming and anodizing. Just need to make sure the process doesn't alter the structural integrity of the wheels.

I like the Advans too but those^^ look almost silver.

I will check on prices for anodized then if that wont work, I guess I have to go gun metal or something just like everyone else.

Yeah I guess gold would be better than gun metal. OK gold is plan B. I know they got that.
