Matching Volk Bronze color & texture?

does anyone know how to or what can be done to match the Volk Bronze texture and color? I have a set of SE37s that are need of some love, and I'd rather keep em the same bronze. One wheel is going to have to be bent back

arent volks adonized? if that is in fact the case then i'd assume its gonna be hard to match the same color and texture since adonizing has the effect of leaving such a "lightweight" texture and color. i think what most people end up doing is getting em all redone or just buying a new wheel/selling the old one cheap. that might be a better option. good luck, i kno what a b**** it is to fix wheels, especially good ones.

I already have a set of TEs that I fixed (1 bent wheel, other 4 need paint work) But they need to be repowdercoated.

the SE37s I'm going to have to look into a bit more. I might sell both sets and just get one good set. I love the SE37s and not many people have them, but these might be more work than I feel like dealing with.

Was hoping someone had some kind of insight. I emailed Mackin to see, they probably won't be helpful at all.

Your best bet is to take them to a powdercoater and tell them to match the finish as closely as possible. They can match the color really well, but the tecture will come out smoother.
