Got them back from painting today.
They're in Fiat's early 70s Oro Lingotto, which has turned out to be a bit paler than ideal. the real colour should be a bit more orangy. They're not quite as pale as the bright sunlight has made the picture look. £125 for 10 wheels including paint. :)
About the only thing that's going right at the moment, the brakes are determined to be soft, in spite of removing the calipers so as I could bleed them orientated so that the bleed valve is highest. Bugger. :(

I think this wheel looks terriffic Chris. I'm no expert on official colours - what colour were you aiming for?

The same gold as the works cars and the consortium powder coated coffin spokes.

Hi Chris,
Have a look at my wheels in the photo gallery... They came from Revolution ready painted in "their" Gold colour and I think they are perfect... Spot on.!!!
You should ask them for the colour details me thinks...

Ciao Panos.
