Pescara's - how many colours ?
« on: August 17, 2012, 06:14:24 pm »
Hi - had my car detailed this week and the guy who did it noticed that one of my alloys is more of a silver colour and the other three are more 'anthracite' in colour. Now it's not a huge difference and I hadn't even noticed until he told me but just wondered how many different colours the Pescara alloys came in as standard ?

I'm new here so I could be talking rubbish. But maybe one alloy has been refurbed in the past and the others left stock?

Yeah, one colour.  Looks silver but then flips to champagne gold in the right light when clean.  It's a biatch to match, not many can do a good job.

There is a thread here that sourced the correct paint method.

I'm sure someone will add to this reply soon.
