Trigo Blemish
I recently purchased a set of Trigos that are blemished. I haven't seen them yet but Lynn Park told me that the wheel centers on the front and back wheels have slightly different shades of gray. I was going to bring one from the front and one from the back to an autobody and fender supply in west hampton new york called goodfellas and have them try to match the colors on the centers. I plan on picking one of the shades of gray on the wheels, having them match it with the computer and painting the other set to match. I have a gravity feed gun and experience painting. I have a quart of charcoal satinbrite from my old harley but it's metallic paint and that might be too flashy. If anyone had any experience with matching the paint, I would appreciate that info. When I first went to match the harley paint (in 1996 Harley had not begun to offer the paint in a can), the computer showed 1989 Lexus grey, which was pretty much a dead match, hopefully the grey I like on the Trigos is like a Ford Gun Metal grey or something that I can share with anyone who is planning on saving a few bucks like i did (emphasis on few)!! If there is enough interest, I will share the before and after photos.
