Default This is ghetto but....

...would anyone happen to know the paint code to convert C8's to mf8's? I have a friend who can powercoat me some rims that are unpolished ala ce28s and mf8s.

Just wanna know the code of the color for the mf-8s. thanks!

Flamers for this ghetto idea are welcome.

C8


MF-8

Why dont you take the real wheels up there and get different paint chips to match them.

You aren't going to be able to match the MF8s with only powdercoat.

The textures between the two wheels are totally different. MF8 is rough to the touch, while the C8 is smooth.

Good luck with your idea. I'm sure there are going to be people that call you a ricer or some ****, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Well its not only gonna be powercoating. A matte and dried finish should help it come as close as the real thing. Im just looking at my options. If its gonna cost me an arm and a leg then screw it. hehe!

I beleive the MF8 are anodized and the C8 are powdercoated. You can't replicate a anodized finish.

Isnt that due to the forging process? Some of the Rays/Volk wheels have that too.
