So after much research on a close match to the anodized bronze of the volk wheels, I found that many people recommend the Fiat Volciano 750F color.
After even more researching i was unable to obtain a paint code for my local paint shop to match. So i took it upon my self to flip through the paint books and believe i have found a more common color for everyone looking for a nice quality bronze color. Brace yourselves... Its from a Ford Windstar mini van :keke: The color is called Dark Cypress Gold PPG Paint code 5092. below are some photos i took while going through the painting process. I finished the wheels in a satin clearcoat made by SEM. Ask your local paint store if they can put just the basecoat in a spray can if you do not want to spray through a HVLP gun. this is what i did. make sure to clearcoat the basecoat afterwards. Again i used the SEM "low luster" clearcoat in a can and received excellent results. I will post finished photos of the wheels installed on the car as soon as i get the tires mounted. I hope this helps people obtain a paint code easier then searching for the european coilor code for the Fiat. Thanks all.
The paint swatch.
