paint code for aftermarket Ronals

ChrisG · 08-06-09, 10:06 AM

Picked up the 6 x 15 100pcd wheels from Gib.

a few scratches on a couple and I'm looking to fix these.

The wheels are not the standard silver but have a slight gold-ish tinge.
Gib thinks they are finished in the standard colour for accessory wheels for VWs in the mid/late 1980s.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Could be Zermatt I guess if they are original. Y7Y.

I believe there are 3 colors of zermatt

MMmm, I think it was that there were 3 different shades of the colour, the paint code remains the same though? Colour match time!

Zermatt silver, 1984-1985 = L V 7 M

hadn't thought of Zermatt.
The Sport is Zermatt but is not here at the moment, it's away having its rusty boot floor seam seen to..........
I do have a touch up paint...... kept in the car !!
I'll just have to wait until the car gets back but as it's a bit of a 'when you have time' job that may be a couple of months.
The wheels were thought to be from a GTi Engineering VW originally, hence the 35mms ET as opposed to the usual Audi 42mms ET .

Yeah I thought the Ronals were Zermatt too, my 1985 Zermatt is LY7Y.

When I went to have my colour matched a few month ago, I was told that under the LY7Y code there was only one shade?
