Monte Carlo wheels paint code 17' (5 Spoke)

**Zeb** · 13-09-2011,06:52 PM

Does anyone know the paint code for the 5 spoke sport wheels 17'? Front 2 wheels are in need of a refurb as they don't match the rear wheels. I spoke to VW and they don't have a clue what the paint code is.

didn't think there was a paint code for VW alloys - thought they were machine finished?

Im pretty sure they were painted in high polish silver, but not too sure. Would it be located inside of the wheel? Otherwise I'm stranded

Sorry about the previous 2 replies by me, was trying to sort out this thread.

They are painted, they have a sparkle in them, machining wouldn't give that, one thing I can say is Reflex Silver isn't it.

Okay....Maybe I'm wrong and your right. I will have to search online for the reflex silver paint code. I hope someone here knows the actual paint code.

Na, Zeb, Reflex Silver doesn't match I've tried it, it's not grey enough to blend, the other thing I was thinking is they are machined and have a glossy metallic lacquer rather than paint.
