Title: Arghhh I don't believe it!!!
Post by: sub39h on April 03, 2012, 07:46:30 pm
Was in a rush to get all my paperwork and bank stuff sorted as I'm about to switch departments at my current job and had a day off today.

Managed to curb my titanium VZ whilst parallel parking :sad1:

Called Rimstyle who say the paint isn't available and hasn't been for some weeks. What do I do! Can a good refurbisher do a good job at a paint match?

Honestly can't believe it

I have a friend who works in a body shop and says he used a special camera to get a colour match to get paint mixed when doing some work on a classic car where the paint is no longer available.
Not sure what its called but sounds clever, maybe that sort of thing would help.

Not sure about same day service - simply because the guy has som many ppl coming to him, but the work is astounding and done fast!


My wheels were done within a few days, with regular pic updates..  :happy2:
