Does anyone know the paint code of the silver paint on mk3 glt alloys? I want to spray those 440 wheels the same silver. Failing that what would be the silver of the 440 wheels?

I know silver is silver but im pretty sure if i spray them different silvers, ill notice it haha!

I'd just get some halfords silver or something - no idea if you can get actual paintcodes for wheels... but the stock colour is abit of a dull silver anyway

There is normally a paint code for the wheels, can't remember if it's on the wheel themselves or the VIN though. Your local tame Dealer might be able to help... Memory says you are around Cardiff? Thats Rufe territory...

FRF Volvo have a parts bloke called Simon. They are one of the most helpful dealers around and he knows his stuff.

Simon goes under the name Rufe on most forums.
