I'll second this response. But be aware that the VR paint is a Tri-Coat, so you'll need to buy the base coat, then a second that actually has the Mica flake in it, and a clear coat.

^ Paintscratch will provide the base coat and the metallic flake coat (2 cans) when you order it.

Rev Me 62 - lets see some pictures of your car with the color matched wheels! I don't think anyone else has done this on an 8 (besides black).

I've used this product on several items. It's an ok match, but not 100% as true VR is a tri-coat process and requires a bit extra skill.

I also re-painted a set a rear aero flares the were black. Came out decent. Everyone I talk to about them thinks it's stock.

I did all the prep and paint then had my friend do the final clear because he has the spray gun for it. So that part was not rattle can action. Heh.

I have not taped anything off when painting. The only other car parts I painted were my rear license plate frame and the washer/brake fluid caps.
