Title: PESCARA Paint Colour CONFIRMED
Post by: garethmk1 on February 25, 2009, 12:00:38 pm

I remember on the other forum there was much discussion regarding the paint colour of Pescara or as VW call them Rockinghams - the colour I can confirm is .....

VW Titan Grey Metallic

Hope this helps guys - dunno whether this is ground that has all ready been covered.

Regards,

Gareth

I thought Rockinghams was one of the names given to the Black Monza's from the German Edition30 aka Huffs?  :confused:

I also thought that Titan grey was too dark when somebody tried it ?, i think pescaras use a base coat with a coloured lacquer to achieve the effect, i reckon it will be hard to replicate

Yeah your right 182, I can't remember whom, but someone did try that, and to no avail!

90% of VAG wheels are painted in Wurth "Super Silver", it was the exact shade on most of the VAG wheels I've owned, the only exception was my Cupra wheels which used another Wurth paint.

Have you checked their website to see if they do it?
