Wheel refurb gone wrong!

[Stuart182]

Sent one of my wheels off for a refurb after gettin out of the way of the fuzz left a nasty scrape all round the wheel.

It came back today the wrong colour! Its only noticeable once the centre caps goes on, so Ive gotta send it off again to be done in the correct colour. Apparantly Renault wouldnt release the paint code to the refurb company.

So I told them I would get the code and they could try again, to which they obliged. So wheel and paint code going back on Monday!

Are Renault just being awkward or is there no offical ranault code?

Ill get some pics up in the day light. Its a real shame as the guys have done a really good job

Sounds quite mad - do Renault actually do wheel refurb and don't want third parties to know the code, or were they just being arwkward?

Don't think there is an official antharicite paint code.

the guy i spoke to at renault told me they only do wheel refurbs on cars that then go onto their forecourts

The paint code is on here, plus mention of other paints identical to the colour.

Paint code is 205-110 and was Ixell paint but impossible to get hold of in small quantities. Good matches are supposidly:

Nissan Hurricane grey
Rover Storm Grey
Audi Nimbus Grey
Peugeot Cussack Grey

Having said that, if you could get hold of the CMYK breakdown it could be accurately reproduced by most paint mft's....

I have the paint code and wasnt asking for it again but thanks anyway!

This was a more of a rant about Renault :rasp:
