Well I think I've finally found a decent Rays/Volk bronze paint!!!

Fiat 750 Marron Volciano :smthumbup

Obviously the outer rim needs to be shiny but lacquering this paint just makes it go really dark brown. I might experiment with a different colour for just the rim.

It's not a perfect colour match & it's never going to be, genuine Rays/Volks are anodised or alumited or whatever you call it.



Original Rays/Volk Bronze wheel..








My Fiat 750 painted wheels..

No way, this is carbon fiber wrap. You can't replace the rear quarter panel and c-pillar with aftermarket carbon fiber parts, but just about everything else you can.

Carbon wrap and painted knock-offs...

Shouldn't this be in the "show and shine" section?

LOL also their signature reads an FQ300 but the badge on the car is FQ400.

Wheel color looks good though, haha....

Thanks for all your comments

I'm just trying to help some others out who might be after a decent bronze for there wheels. No need to pick holes in my car. Yes it has FQ-400 badges on it. It has been on the dyno & made 403/415 so warrants the badges in my book. Besides, it's my car & I'll do whatever I want with it

Wow very close colour match indeed

For years people have been trying to come close and looks like you got it pretty much 99% spot on.

And now the famous question, what is the colour code for this colour?

Wheels look great. Wrap looks great also. It's not like He is trying to pass this off for real carbon fiber and real volks.

OP - please post on where you got the paint and color code.
