Wheel paint code Middle East Cars

[SpudMurphy]

My car is vin 11789, and if you look at this thread you can see that it has some (Delorean) historical significance.

I've had this car since Jan 2017, and in my spare time I have spent some time working on this "project".

Mine was sprayed red, by the dealership in Dubai, and when I got it, it was back to stainless - albeit it needs a total regrain.

I see evidence of the red sprayjob as I work on the car - the wheels were also sprayed red, then a previous owner resprayed them a silver colour.

The 50 exports all used the earlier dark wheels.

With this in mind, I am using a local company here in Cardiff,UK, to totally refurbish the wheels and they need to know paint/powder coating codes.

I can't believe how "guarded" a secret this is after 35 years, and have spent some time trying to track this information down.

Before (hopefully) you guys chime in:-

There is nobody close to me that has a Delorean with the same wheels
I cannot have mine scanned as the original colour is no longer on the wheel
I cannot justify spending UK prices on a new set of wheels
I would like to keep my wheels "as is" - that's what the car came with



So has anybody got the codes for my wheel please?
Thanks
