Astra J Paint Colour
Have two questions here if anyone is able to answers them:

1. Is the technical grey paint colour known by any other name? I know that VX just change the name of colours but they actually are the same paint colour.

2. What's the best way of removing scratches from the paint work? I have a few which don't feel deep and are white in colour...These the type that come out easy?

Thanks

Alloy colour change
[align=center]So yesterday I did a test paint to see if the colour I picked for the wheels would suit.

I posted a couple of pics on the Facebook group and did say I'd upload some higher res ones here today.

So what do you think.

Wheel colour for Vxr wheels
Hey people

As some of you know I've recently purchased some Vxr wheels and will be getting them fully refurbished and was going to get the normal grey colour sprayed gloss black and keep the Dimond cut as my cars white so thought it would go well.

I'm literally like the weather within what to do so would love people's views even if you just want to post gloss b

How-to change alloy wheel colour.

I would like to point out I am not a painter and this is done using rattle cans.

So the first you want to do is grab a kit from eBay.

Wheel colour
So had a wheel off to clean and protect it and saw this on the back

What do you think the chances are that that's the wheel colour as I've got a couple of dinks that could do with a touch up.

How-to Brake Caliper Colour Change
First off I'd suggest reading Tucpal's and Rusty's write ups:
http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=1350

What I used:
2 x cans of brake caliper spray paint (from the ever so cheap Halfords)
1 x can of brake caliper cleaner (dependent upon how dirty your calipers are)

Colour Display in CD400
Hi Chaps

Okay two parts to this question...

1. Anyone know which CD displays have full graphics...I thought CD500 and 600 but not sure
2. Anyone got any idea how to add the video wire into the car loom so that I can connect one of the above displays up to my car which currently has a CD400 and NO full colour display?
Thanks
