I'd like to refurbish the hubcaps on my Mk4's alloy wheels. This is the part I'm talking about:
I'm in the process of sourcing the VW emblems (aluminium discs), three of which have fallen off. And before I stick them onto the hubcaps, I want to sand, prime and re-paint the caps.The rims themselves are still OK-ish, but the silver paint is chipping off the hubcaps, presumably because they bend quite badly when one pulls them off.
Can anyone provide me with the correct paint code, so that I can go looking for a rattle-can to match the rims?
Paint name / code for Mk 4 "Montreal" alloys?

Re: Paint name / code for Mk 4 "Montreal" alloys?
From what I remember, there is no actual paint code for the wheels themselves.
But any decent painter can match the colour anyway.

Re: Paint name / code for Mk 4 "Montreal" alloys?
Thanks, and yes, I'm sure any decent painter can. But all painters I've spoken to, told me they don't mix less than a litre. For painting only four hub centres, that would be a bit of overkill - hence I was hoping to find a rattlecan with the correct mix. I'll keep hunting.

Take one centre cap and go to Builders or somewhere where they have a big range of rattle cans and match up a silver that comes close to the centre cap.

Re: Paint name / code for Mk 4 "Montreal" alloys?
Hello Hi.
What is the size of the center caps.
I bought a set of montreal 2 wheels and been struggling to get the center caps.
Thanks man.

Re: Paint name / code for Mk 4 "Montreal" alloys?
Those have much smaller centre caps than the Montreal 1. They look something like 55 mm, but I can't say for sure.
