Hi all,
I have 18'' wheels which came as specified when the car was new, where can I find the paint code for the silver so I can get some mixed for touching them up?
Many thanks

Edited to say they are called 'techno wheels'
 
There isn't a paint code for the wheel silver. Most places like Halfrauds stock a spray wheel silver, and they are usually a good match. I have heard that Wurth Wheel Silver is a particularly good match. (www.wurth.co.uk). You also need a clear lacquer.
 
Thnks for your input as ever Richard, I will give the Wurth paint a try and report back...
Best regards

It will be interesting to hear how you get along. Mine are beginning to show some deterioration in a few places.
 
Well, pleased to report on a very successful day, the paint code is Porsche 9A1 Sterling silver metallic.
I resprayed the outer rims on both rear wheels this afternoon and am struggling to see any sign of mis-match!
I bought a 1/4 litre of 2K base coat and used a 2K clear lacquer, and now it show up the rest of the wheel, hopefully a good mop and polish on the rest of the wheel will have it sorted tomorrow.
Will post a picture if I can work out how.....
Regards
 
Looks like I might have worked out how to post a picture......

Well done Simon! (Wheel job as well as the photo attachment!).

Nice job. Did you remove the tyres, or mask them?

BTW, I have updated the Paint Codes PDF in the FAQ section.
