"GrimmSpeed Gold" Wheel Paint - matches BBS gold
« on: November 03, 2008, 01:51:59 pm »
GrimmSpeed presents "GrimmSpeed Gold", your only BBS gold wheel paint match..you can't even get this color directly from BBS!! Our engineers have been working on this color match the entire summer and it is finally here! We personally know that when you damage those beauitful gold BBS rims it is impossible to find a paint that is an exact match so you end up with the whole world knowing that you rubbed that extra high curb. Well now you can spray a bit of our "GrimmSpeed Gold" Wheel Paint on them and they will look like new!

And for all of you that don't have BBS wheels, well now you can paint your wheels the same color as the BBS wheels. Being Subaru owners ourselves, we are all addicted to the gold look but it is impossible to find a good gold color at your local paint/auto parts store(especially one that is even remotely close to BBS gold). Search no more!


12oz Can

Price: 14.99

It's an acrylic enamel. Basically it's the most durable single component paint available (paint able to be sprayed out of a rattle can).

Clear coats and application: We suggest the gold color coats to happen within an hour of eachother. We recommend using clear coat 3-4 days AFTER the coats of the gold to prevent the occurence of lifting and/or wrinkling. Any clear should work but we suggest testing a sample area first. A clear coat isn't necessary however.

You'll need atleast 2, depending on how many coats you apply, but you should order a spare can for touchups. Don't forget to get some Duplicolor clear coat.

2 cans will be enough to do 4 wheels.

You can find bronze at your local stores, my wheels were done in bronze from cans i bought at Crappy tire. You can't find BBS gold color spray cans at local stores. I think it would be best to get colors that are unique and hard to find.

I was going to purchase some paint from a US vendor but he said he has issues shipping the paint over the border. 

Are there any canadian vendors who carry the stuff?
