    I remember a while back, I got some Ford wheel paint from this site, cause they had a metalic finish, it was a good match.

    i've used that website too! good service however my colour wasnt right at all! haha but i still like it

    Any paint from halfords will work just make sure the surface is clean and has been primered properly before applying the colour coat, oh and dont forget to laquer it. Theres a guide on the forum too.

    the standard silver or anthricite?

    The Simoniz Alloy wheel silver spray paint is as near as you will get. For the gt3 wheel i think it was like a ford or vauxhall colour tbh.

    Your not going to get off the shelf stuff mate thats perfect match, contact wheel paints they can get the paint code for you and make you up a few cans? i got them to do it with my wheels i wanted the clio cup colour they made it up for me. Also the paint is of very high quality and so is the spray nibs on the cans.
