Hi - had my car detailed this week and the guy who did it noticed that one of my alloys is more of a silver colour and the other three are more 'anthracite' in colour. Now it's not a huge difference and I hadn't even noticed until he told me but just wondered how many different colours the Pescara alloys came in as standard ?
-
I'm new here so I could be talking rubbish. But maybe one alloy has been refurbed in the past and the others left stock?

Sound's about right! :smiley:

yeah that would make sense, now i need to find a refurb place to make that one look like the others !
-
Yeah, one colour. Looks silver but then flips to champagne gold in the right light when clean. It's a biatch to match, not many can do a good job.
There is a thread here that sourced the correct paint method.
