LE wheel Colour
Hi guys,
Does anyone know what the original metallic grey colour is for LE wheels? Refurbishing mine and looking for a good match rather than just painting them black. Has anyone found a close colour?
Also need a cap spring if anyone has one?
Thanks,
Doug.
Hi doogle....take a look at this thread

What we really need is someone with an unused spare who can get the grey section clour matched-as we did with the Jubilee paint 😉
If any one wants NEW sprins & wheel badges I have a set going.
Springs at £4 each
Caps Red/Silver £5 each
Also a set of Jubilee MG Logo wheel badges NEW at £5 each
I'm going to take a wheel to local paint shop on Monday and try to match it. My wheels are a very dark grey and slightly metallic. Will probably try and find a close colour from the chips as I'm not sure they'll get it on the matching machine as that usually just generates a match whereas I'm guessing what we need is a fairly off the shelf manufacturers colour that will provide a good substitute to the original paint used and easy to get made using a code.
Please let us know how you get on
After an hour spent in the paint shop this afternoon picking out colour chips it came down to a short list of about 6 colours and eventually after eliminating some it came down to a choice of just two and after much deliberation we have a match! They were close but one was very slightly lighter and a green tint, the chosen one has a brown tint but is definatly a solid grey colour as per the wheels. Most grey colours seem to have a blue tint to them and just don't match.
Iv tried a test on the wheel and it looks perfect. Will post a picture later.
Does it have a tint code? 😉
please let us know the paint code B)
Will do guys. How much is it worth? 😉
Very pleased. It's a Toyota colour. 1A1 dark brownish grey - anthracite.
