GTA rim color and custom "Pontiac" on light
I want to have the word "Pontiac" on my driver's side flip up light painted gold. I'm **** about the car, so I'd want the color to be an exact match to my rims.
What's the color code for my rims?
Does anyone have a pic of a paint job like this?
Thanks!
Bill

Thanks Bryan,
I posted a message on their forums.
They dont look extremely active, so it might be a while before I get a response.
Until then, does anyone know the paint or color code for my rims?

Found this on Hitmans 78 page>>>
"I have had so many requests for the color codes for the Gold paint used in refinishing these rims that I thought rather than keep on emailing people with the codes and where to get it from I figured I would just post the information here. You can get the correct color paint for the gold rims from PPG Industries (which sells locally in select stores). Now, just to let you know that the original paint code doesn't make a difference. They used different paint types back then and you can't use the original paint code from 1978. this paint code is also from paint from PPG Industries. You can't take this code to a Sherwin Williams and expect them to mix this. Call PPG Industries and they will give you a list of a local store in your area that can mix it for you. The color code from PPG for the Special Edition Gold rims is #82352 in lacquer or enamel paint. If you need the Argent paint for Non-Special Edition cars, the single stage enamel is #8568, or the lacquer paint #2593. You can call PPG Industries at 1-800-848-2683, or visit their website below and make sure you mention www.78ta.com:"
