Hey Guys,

Ive purchased new wheels and I am going to paint them! The thing is, I dont know the color code for it. Here is a picture of the color I want.

I PM'ed Nitrous, the driver, and I have not received a response. So I went on google but I am not sure how color coding systems work for wheels and the general color charts.

If I find a color I like on one of these charts, will that number give me exactly that shade of purple on my wheel? Or is there usually a difference between how it looks in a picture vs real life.

Anyways, just seeing if I can get any help from someone who may have experience in this domain? Is it difficult or complex to get the "candy" look. Im sure it requires a multi coat and the base coat may not necessarily be purple in color. I just want to achieve this purple and I need a number to give to my painter/powder coater.

Here are some of the sites I found:

from a few friends, i think you can just go to a custom wheel shop and they will have different paint samples (kinda like choosing paint for your wall) for you to choose. im sure if you mention candy purple they will have many different purple samples for you


and OMG im so excited for your wheels right now...the color, the fitment. godddddd i wanna see them now.

*super jelly.
