vern Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have some light damage around the bolt holes and also some stone chips on my alloys. Does anyone know what the closest match would be for the standard (silver) Rays wheel colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedwell Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 An alternative is to go to your nearest automotive paint factor (not Halfords!).They should be able to look at your wheels and supply you with the (near) matching shade of silver because it's probable they will be supplying the local pro wheel refurb guys. Some car manufactures,e.g.Audi,actually have a paint code for silver used for their wheels,in which case the paint factor can mix you some to give an exact match. So,is there a paintcode for the Nissan wheel silver?...this is not something easy to discover,it's only the body paint code that's on the VIN plate.

I can assure you, and after many hours, if you think of 'needle and haystack' - good luck in your search The paint match ain't turned out to be that good in the link glrnet has posted for the 370 standard wheels and I would be inclined to do as speedwell has suggested, to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will always notice some difference to a repair no matter how close the match is because of the change in paint thickness, surface texture etc. I'd suggest giving the VBF Silver a go if the damage is very small.

Chris`I Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think Toby (EH 370z) said that the 370z wheels have multi stage paint on them, the 40th and GT Edition dark wheels certainly are, and I think he said the silvers were (may stand corrected). That will be one reason they wont list it as its not just one paint code involved. A good repair company could match it closely though I guess.
