Anyone know the paint code for 1993 White wheel?
I'm looking at a replacement front wheel for my bike, but it's silver and I need to paint it Honda white. Or power coat it if I can find the correct code. Yes I could just powder coat both but I'd rather not, if I can help it.
Thanks Robert |

why not powder coat it "pearl crystal white"???
I think that would look smokin' hot. I have a spare front, and was thinking about re-powder coating due to a few nicks and scuffs on my current wheels. I would assume the paint code would be the same when coating wheels... If I do it its gonna be the Paint scheme color...looks sooo sweet when the sun hits the pearl white.....only way it could be better is if the wheels did the same thing and the plastics!!!!

You could always go with the Crystal Pearl White, which is NH193P according to color-rite.com.

Thanks Larry, I just couldn't find anything. But the pearl does sound interesting. I have eveything I need to power coat, I just havent tried doing it yet. I'll have to check and see if they make a pearl powder coat. My kit is from Eastwood, they may have it.
Thanks Guys! Robert |

Keep us informed!!
I'd love to know if you do it or if its available. (pearl crystal white that is) Maybe even a little write-up with some pics? I'd like to know how it turns out, no matter which direction you descide to go with the wheels. -S

Wheel Paint
Since I posted that (Yes, Ross white, not Rose, Duh), I've noticed that Honda Ross white is VERY close to standard white from Duplicolor.
I have also noticed that the toughest paint out there, appliance epoxy, is in white and very close. So, if I was doing my own wheels, I would either: powder coat them, PCW for the bling, or: strip, or rough them up, and paint them with appliance spray paint in white. Tough as nails. A 2 coats of polish once fully cured, about 2 weeks. Your $, your choice. Larry |

Thanks everyone, I wound up powder coating the wheel with Eastwoods Gloss White, it came out great and the color is only a few shades off. When I need a new rear tire I'll powder coat the rear, so they'll match 100%. FWIW powder coating with the Eastwood kit is surprisingly easy, although somewhat time consuming.
