2003 Foxeye Wheel paint colour?
« on: 11 June 2013, 09:00:31 pm »
Want to blow my wheels in. Does anyone know the colour of them? I was going to go with a satin black but not sure. I know Honda can get the offical colour of frames and paint for there models but not sure if yamaha can..

Think it's described by Yamaha as "low gloss black"  sounds like Satin under another name to me.
 
Might have to test a couple of different brands if your fussy about a match~ black paint seems to come in several shades.????

Done my wheels today! I used a Halfords "Enamel gloss black spray" its perfect match infact you can't tell any different. I don't think the original wheels are laqured though...The paint is very thin on them...
