I think you will find the paint is called Silver Sparkle and you can get it from a Xpart dealer. The paint code is MNH and the Rover part numbers were
Pencil AWZ101830MNH and Spray Can AWZ101843 MNH |

thanks but the apex alloys are a "shadow chrome" frinish, I believe a gunmetal over black, and the finish isnt very durable to say the least

i think you would struggle to touch them up, because of the different layers, the only thing to do is to put some clear on top to stop the rest coming off around the area.

There is another company called Pristine Wheels but I think they charge £65 for an 18" Alloy, but the choice & quality of the factory finishes they can produce is amazing.

We have a V8 in the workshop at the moment and its wheels are peeling as well. The paint finish on these wheel is described in EPC as Platinum Silver, not shadow chrome. The only wheels on EPC as shadow chrome are some TF wheels. The paint finish code is MVV, but this does not exist as an available paint via EPC.
