Does any body know or know where I can find the Paint Code for the R84 X Lite Wheels? I am getting ready to buy a set and they have some rash on the lip. Not bad as far as I can tell but will need to be touched up after clean up and some sanding.

Same question but for the S-lites. Probably the same color as the R84, but not sure.

 

bump; anybody got an answer to this question?

 

this is the paint code and the Sherwin Williams automotive formula code for

MINI wheel bright silver metallic

A54 79742 Wheel Brt Silver Met

any automotive paint supplier can mix the proper color with this information

for small batch work I like
http://www.automotivetouchup.com/index1.htm but you may have a local house that can fix you up . . .

note that as a PAINTED wheel this is a two part paint system .... SAME AS the body .... so you want the color BASE COAT and then need to top with clear . . .

the base will not have gloss or strength ... these come from the top coat . . .

previously posted btw .... search works .... that's how I found my old post(s)

SW lists no wheel entries after this one, which is several years old. Dunno if MINI isn't providing data or what, but I searched ALL MINI paint colors in their catalog and no more recent wheel colors are there

That is what i have found. Bavarian Autosports has a kit but only one color is listed. Automotive Touchup doesn't have a color listed I would have to give them the code that you gave and see what they can do.

yes,


give ato' t/up the code and they'll mix it .. that's the idea.

And you might have a local mixer willing to do a small batch or rattle can.

A small bottle of brush on is pretty inexpensive for a color test . . .

another option or if this color doesn't match ....

a 'real' auto paint house has a computer matching system just like the ones you see at Home Despots or Lowes for house paints. The auto one is typically a hand held laser gizmo. It works .... when I bought my 79 I had no idea what the color was other than being SURE it was not an original Mini color. ZAP and I now have a formula I can take to any mixer and it matches pretty darn good.

Check around ... within 15 miles of me there are PPG, Sherwin Williams and Dupont store fronts for AUTOMOTIVE PAINT . . .
