Ive recently purchased 4 OEM second hand RS4 alloys with tyres.
When inspecting them before I purchased it was under poor artificial light and all looked mint.
Under closer inspection when home it became evident that two have been sprayed and are slightly darker shade of grey than the OEM silvery ones. They are also a little ruffer finish than the originals.
The spray hasnt taken well around the valve on the one and looks like this spray could possibly chip/scratch in time show the lighter shinier colour of the original below. Gutted!!
I suppose its my own fault for not checking properly and in natural light when rushing to buy them,
I will put the two originals on the front as these will get more of a hiding and the others on the rear, but now Ive noticed the colour differance it will annoy me and probably stand out more now I know.
Has anybody any advice on geting these two resprayed professionally to match the originals exactly? any recommended places in South Wales and approx costs etc.
Pics attached if they work ~ the diff is minimal, but what do you lot think? what would you do?
Cheers
