I finished a set for my 380 SL. It seems that RAL 9700 is not available anywhere in Finland so I have been using Astral Silver 735. I believe the later models use Tital Silver on alloy wheels.
The clearcoat seems to darken the colour so this time I chose even brighter colour from Motip's wheel lacquer range, no colour code available unfortunately.
The rims I bought in Germany had several coats already so I decided to grind and sand the surface whereas blasting might have revealed some cavities etc. They had no corrosion nor any oxidation at all.
Rims will be used for summer driving only plus the car will have our "H-plates" in two weeks and it will reduce the driving time down to 30 days per year.
