Paint Codes for Genuine Pegs?

[Al115]

Does anyone know (or know how to find out) the paint code for the darker Pegasus wheels?

They come in Bright Silver and Graphite, I think. I'm after the Graphite colour, for a refurb of mine.

Would a Volvo dealer know this from my reg, or just the bodywork paint colour (which is on the VIN plate)?

Al, I will ring my paint supplier and ask him, he may have it on file anyway, can you send me a pic of the current colour of your wheels anyway?(I may have something like it already).

[Al115]

Thanks TC! Will go and get a photo in the next hour or so... :)

My ones are the darker ones if u want to steel a picture from my album.

[Tomcat]

Thanks Martyn, do you have any close up pics?.

Makes them look quite light though.

Going to get a pic of mine (for comparison) now!

Linky no worky Al.

I think side by side they would look a bit different, usual pictures dont do things justice but i think thats pretty much the colour

[Tomcat]

Is it graphite or is it actualy anthracite as per the colour that was used on all the old R wheels?.

[Al115]

And here we go.

[Al115]

Graphite I think - not as dark as Anthracite on the older Rs (though I love that colour too!)

[Tomcat]

Tbh from that pic it just looks like Anthracite, which is what is used on the older R wheels (Titans, Volans etc).

[Al115]

Dunno why Volvo called it something else then! Maybe it's only slightly different.

[Tomcat]

Ok spoke to my paint guy and he says its not listed, we'll either have to go with Anthracite or get the paint code from the dealers.

[Al115]

I think that they are so close to Anthracite, it'd be fine to just go with that.

Five wheel steel is exactly what I painted my genuine 18" pegs with.

It's Dark Anthracite Al. I know, cos i recently asked for a touchup pen from the dealer but got a can of spray instead. Genuine Volvo can of Anthracite spray for the wheels.
