[DML] Re: color of the rims

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't paint them because they'll be chipped in no time.  Find
someone in your area who can powdercoat them instead, and it will be a
much more lasting finish.  Just make sure the person knows that the
DeLorean rims need to be pre-baked for a long time to avoid out-gassing.

know the "original" color code of the silver color? Something like
"brillant silver" won't help cause the guy who will paint my rims has
about twelve different "brillant silver" (from BMW, Mercedes etc).
