Gunmetal Mags

I have a silver MY13 NC with Gunmetal grey wheels (Std) which have a couple of bruises. Does anyone know of a colour code (or name) for the wheels. I would love to touch up the scratches.

Thanks, Barry

I dont believe wheels tend to have a colour code.

The best option is to go to your local autobarn/supercheap/repco and match the cans of paint against the wheel.
Usually they'll happily let you take out a couple of cans to compare against the wheel in the carpark.

There usually is a colour name, not sure if a specific code. May be difficult to find out though.
Call Mazda/Mazda spares with your VIN.

I contacted Mazda Australia who apologised for not having the information, and they referred me back to the dealer. It looks like I need to 'wing it'

Most smash repairers will have a spectro and be able to take a reading from one of the wheels and give you a colour match.

See if you can get some touch-up paint from a wheel repair place. They colour match alloy wheels all the time.
