 |
|
I picked up some L87 Pearl White to paint the wheel centers on my smoothies but now realize that what I actually had in mind was something more like an Ivory or Cream color.
do any of you guys have pictures of L81 parchment, L471 Stone Beige or others?
thanks. |

Then simply look through the oval section of the gallery & when you find one you like you can pretty much determine the color from the cars body color.
Just searching "rim"http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_search.php?...=titleonly
or wheel or whatever term you need. |

I used l87 on my wheels and dig the color. It's hard to tell because of the bad lighting, but i didnt want a bright looking white , and the l87 is actually a rich creamy color.

I did the same,not having the formula for L277 at the time. Close up there is a pearl effect to it - at least to my eyes. If I ever find a decent approximation for the outer rim,i'll change it, but for now L87 works just fine. |

Im not sure about the op's car, or your car Darren, but according to WW's color charts L87 is the correct center color for my car.
