Wheel paint

Lear · 5th May 2021, 19:22

I am in the process of refurbing my wheels and I was under the impression my wheel paint was Silver Sparkle (paint code) MNH. However, this colour is slightly brighter than the original and unfortunately I prefer the original.
The car is a 2005 ZT-T Goodwood Green. Anyone ha be any idea what my wheel paint is? A slightly darker silver than Sparkle.
BTW I got the paint from Auto Paints St Helens. Highly recommended.

Could be liquid silver, have a look on the backside of the wheel. Btw, I also get my paint from auto paint 😎

What will I find on the backside of the wheel to help what the paint code is?

Cannot see anything on the inside rim. What should I be looking for, a label or what?

Should be stamped in, or on the back of the centre caps. What wheels are they?

I have 18 inch Apex. Will look in the centre cap.

Don't forget, you need to take in to account the original paints fade. It might well have been the Sparkle Silver you have but age and cleaning agents could well have dulled the finish. If you want a perfect match then you could always take the car to a paint mixer and have then scan the wheel to better match the shade
