Mk2 Rev 3 Wheel Paint Code/Colour
The plastic centre caps of my wheels have flaked and turned yellow for some reason, so looking to give them a quick spray to make them look a bit more acceptable, however I'm not sure what colour paint I need. They're the standard wheels, silver in colour, and from my research it looks like I need paint code WA519F (GM Galaxy Silver), however, this seems to be unavailable everywhere or exceedingly expensive - does anyone know if there's a suitable UK alternative?
I've tried searching, so apologies if I've missed an obvious answer!
Thanks

Yes, I'd read elsewhere that the original colour isn't available, and that the GM paint is the best match, however it seems that it's also not readily available anymore, so I hoped there would be another colour that people knew about?

If there's a code for it, it can be mixed, however I don't recollect ever seeing a paint code for any of the MR2 alloys ? Any decent paint supplier should be able to match the wheel colour.

That would be your best bet, take the car (or a wheel) and they should be able to match the colour and mix it.
