Default 98 XK8 Overrider Dorchester Gray?
Can anyone verify the color of the “rabbit’s teeth” on my 98 XK8? I’m going to repaint them. The car is JHE, sapphire blue metallic. Very, very nice.

The rabbits teeth are faded and peeling and let the car down. I believe Dorchester gray is correct, but thought to ask here.

Thanks

Hi LTD, just wondering what rabbits teeth refers to? Don't recall ever hearing that term and I've got a 98 too.

thanks

John

FYI - There is a wheel paint by duplicolor in color Graphite that is a very good option for these trim repaints.
