Byron those codes are coming up as trim numbers. Do you have the mixing codes?

They are Dulon formulae. The same as the last bit of BODY tag paint lines like 567-15456. Not sure how they'd come up as trim codes.

Man, I wish I had seen that Greg while I was in Dubbo. I am now home with 4 sandblasted and etch primed wheels with no paint.

Had the tyres pulled off and I have a 74,76,78 wheel and one wheel with made in the USA stamped on it. The 74 wheel is rat shit. Has had a crack welded up in the inner rim and I will use it for a spare. There is more than one way for a N66 wheel to be stuffed.

$25 to sandblast and etch prime each rim, $50 each rim(including the stuffed one).$300 total so far. Got to add paint to that when I get it.

They are the numbers i had and they could not find a mixing code for that paint,only a reference to it in old books. Is it me or the shop? I could not get the grey for the dash mixed up there either. Frustration levels are growing.

it wouldnt have helped you in dubbo anyways as i only put them up 10 minutes ago...its the shop dude..

the paint place i use had no troubles finding the colour just from my description of what i wanted..she found both lots and i opted for the early colour as it has flattening base added and the late colours do not...i didnt want shiny arsed rims.

We had ours all done whilst soda blasting he vans, but that doesn't sound a lot....oh well if it is a good job, as the old saying goes you pay for what you get....
