Va Beach / Hampton Roads G owners?
I'd def. get that replaced. somehting about the paint I read in here. It will never match, something about there are like 7 different coats of 7 different colors to get that color. my insureance tried to refinish one of my OE rims a while back and it was a totally different color and the clear coat started bubling like a month later.
REPLACE REPLACE REPLACE. save you trouble if they can't get it right (I doubt they will) and the hassel of them trying to make it right 2 more times before they replace it.
quote by (mamboking) thread title (My refinished wheels are a different color..!(pic) )
I kinda of went through the same ordeal with one of my front wheels. I scratched it pretty bad, and I was ready to fork out 125 bucks to get it fixed by the dealership. Through a friend, I found out who was fixing the wheels for the infiniti dealership and I went to him directly. He fixed it for $75 but told me that the paint for the G35 coupe wheels was not available anywhere and he kinda had to match it by trial and error. He did a pretty good job but if you really look at it, mine is just a tiny fraction lighter than the rest. Not as much difference as yours, but different nonetheless. I wonder if anyone in this forum knows where to get the paint or the code for the color of the G35 coupe wheels. Seems like every time I get a flat tire fixed, there are small scratches inside the holes where the lugs go, and I would like to have some paint to touch them up when they happen.

Damn Chris, I guessed you joined club for 2010 Sucks.
Anyway "mamboking" is a bit OCD if he wants touch up paint for the " small scratches inside the holes where the lugs go".

Refinish, that rim has been refinished before.
She should be good to go early next week, yeah those damn b!tches screwed me out of some sunday overtime work, lol.
Yup, it "looks" like it got curbed
This rim has been refinished before, you're right about it not being 100% perfect, but it was close enough the first time. so im not too worried about it.
Yea man, hopefully i can make up lost overtime on sunday by working this weekend
