Northstar_7889 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hi There. As you can see I am a newbee! I own a 1994 Cadillac Seville STS with alloy wheels. My center caps have paint chiped and worn away, so I was wondering what color paint did Cadillac use on the alloy wheels? I also have some curb damage that left ugly marks on my front right wheel. I am looking for a quick touch up paint number or something before I buy my new wheels this up comeing summer. I dont really want do invest in new center caps either because it would be a waste of money before I buy the new wheels and caps. If anyone can help me put it would be greatly appriciated. Thanks PS: I just bought my car the past weekend and I freekin the power and the great ride. Cadillacs Rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAC Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 When you say "alloy"...do you mean you have the stock silver wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDK Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Since the centers are already chipped a bit and all and it does not seem like you will be trying to sell them... I have used a spray can of Dupli-Color "Wheel Paint" where she let her Neon "drive itself for a bit" while going fer the coffe. It is a polyurethane and can be clear-coated for more protection. There are various finishes available. Preparation is the key - as posted recently elsewhere. Regarding painting grilles etc, I have used a special primer for flex bumpers and non-metallic lower semi-flex trim for touch-ups. The bond is greatly improved with the Plasti-cote " flexible bumper and trim adhesion promoter." Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning.

MAC Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Silver: Plasti-Kote No. 5330 for Honda. It's very close...not perfect. It's ever so slightly darker with not quiet the same amount of metallic. It's a decent fix until you the wheels are replaced. I haven’t come across anything better.

Northstar_7889 Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Thanks alot! That was the answer I was looking for. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar_7889 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hi. I used the Ultra Silver spray touch up paint, and it worked to my satisfation. It was a little darker than the rest of the wheel but I would recomend it also to anyone who is doing any kind of touch up work with there stock wheels. You can only notice a slight differance in direct sunlight but other than that it was great. Oh, And it will withstand the pressure from a power washer. PS: I just got home from a 2500 mile trip with the Cadillac and no problems there or back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
