Default Bronze paint code for engine bay.

For Rota wheels. I'm havin trouble finding a match. You guys know t3h wheel color I"m talkin about...



I'm shaving/tucking my engine bay and this is the color I'm going with. I'm trying to get as close as possible to the color my wheels.
A pic of the progress (or lack there-of) on my bay. Not done yet BTW, but close.





Anyway, anybody happen to know a nice bronze thats close to matching? I've found some Duplicolor Bronze that seems pretty good.




Any other suggestions? Calling Rota isn't an option, as they won't give out t3h code

And don't flame on my shaving the bay. It's a really stupid idea, I know. Just help me find a paint code of a color thats close

Thanks!

you can take a wheel to a paint supplier that has a spectral analyzer and the look at the color with the machine and give you the closest thing they can to the color

i'd say just paint your engine bay bronze and repaint your wheels with the same stuff. guaranteed match

I ended up using a bronze from a Caddy :D

Pics of the bay painted are in my build thread. I"m lazy so I dont feel like searching and finding the picture. But I got the paint from Napa. Looks great
