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.

This turned out well for me when I painted my wheels the same color as the car....

Rx8_rotory_Noobie 06-03-2009 05:29 AM

Whats the Color code for VR?

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).

Rx8_rotory_Noobie 06-03-2009 12:06 PM

Id like to see them too, also would like to see any of the work done with these rattle cans so i can see what the quality is.

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.

They came out nice! Was this the duplicolor clear coat that you used?

Rx8_rotory_Noobie 06-03-2009 05:26 PM

Dude, they look absolutly amazing, tyvm for the pictures, im a sure buyer now! Have you done anything by taping it off and painting with this product? Wanna know if its gonna leave noticeably thick lines.

altspace 06-04-2009 04:20 PM

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.
