its volvo titanium gray, done about 5-6sets in this colour and got few more to do in the same colour!
was doing final coat of laquer on then and managed to knock one wheel over so had to totally start again, i was NOT very happy, nicked mums hair drier to get the paint dry to rub it all down, primer, basecoat and laquer again, oh well! all good now

prob, try halfords or just get closest u can! sure u can get nice finish with rattle cans! when u actually look at wheels they dont have much of a shine, normally pretty orange peely but u never notice on wheels! unless they are very shiny like these babies..........hehe

Those are the only 2 colour I don't like Alesio 2's in, the wheels loose all they're shape and curves in both colours.
