Wheel touch up paint

Post by Harry the Hat »

Does anyone know what paint color is used on the wheels? I want to do some touch up, duplicolor or whatever.
Thanks!

I ride mine so much the wheels are always dirty. I didn't know they were painted, I thought they were aluminum.

Check with your local house paint shop. They can color match for you, and they can even put it into a spray can. Not sure if they can offer something other than latex paint, though.

Alternatively, you can buy the paint of your choice, and apply it evenly to the whole wheel. Color matching will not be necessary for the wheel(s) painted. More work, but if it really matters to you...

Third option. Get some different black paints, apply them to bits of paper, cut to size (use a Sharpie on the white edges to make them disappear), then lay the paper onto the wheel, and stand up and look to see if they match. Best of luck! Cheers!
