Am I right in thinking that the wheel colour for cars with plain non wires should be the same as the body colour as my car is opalescent maroon and the wheels are painted silver. It looks OK but I would like it to be as original as possible.

That`s always been my belief and from all the press photo`s and broshures i`ve read it would also seem to be the case.My wheels are about to be painted the same as the car ,also opalescent maroon
,the best classic jag colour in my opinion.

JAGAZ Can I enquire where you got hold of your opalescent maroon paint?

Originally i bought it from Autopaint international ,but when they ran their stocks down because of the new rules on cellulose paint i bought 3 litres from them.
If i need any more then i will be trying these people from Buxton in Derbyshire.I haven`t used them yet but i`m led to believe they still supply and are good to deal with.

Hope this is of some use.
After colouring i then gave a light drop coat and clearcoated with a good 2K clearcoat as i couldn`t get any 2K basecoat,only cellulose.
Hope this is of some help,Howard/JAGAZ.
