Hi guys, im looking to overhaul my wheels as the original paint is quite badly damaged now...im open to either paint or powdercoat.
has anyone taken their wheels to a paint/powdercoat place that has exactly the same lime green colour that the original wheels are painted in (1994 zxr 400). Ive found a RAL code that looks fairly close RAL6038 - Luminescent green, so im trying to buy a swatch of it...but if someone can say "i took it to ### in ### and they did them exactly as the originals"...then that would be excellent!
i could do them myself, but by the time ive bought everything, and messed around with it all i would just rather have taken them to somewhere professional and had them done properly.

If you have a bit of Kawasaki green bodywork lying about (like a mudguard) you can take it to Halfords and they will colour match a spray can for you, that's what I plan to do.

Re: Wheel paint/powdercoat
if i want to do it with rattle cans, ill buy the proper ones from RS paint, no need to colour match then as ill know its correct...im looking for a proper spray painting place that can paint/powdercoat them for me in the original colour.
