Title: Wheel Paint Code
Post by: saljo on January 15, 2020, 10:29:18

Hi,

I'm looking to tidy up a few scuffs on my standard i30 2009 CRDI silver wheels & can't find the paint code.  Unfortunately the local dealer can't help either, just says they send them away to be refurbished at £100 a go!  I reckon I can do a reasonable job on all four for half that money.

As I would like to maintain the car to standard spec any info much appreciated.

Hi Saljo,

Interesting question! If nobody that sees this can come up with a code, you might be able to find an automotive paint shop with a device that can scan one of your wheels and give them the right combination to match.

I'm not sure how it works but even in my current city (Devonport in Tasmania) which has a population of only around 30,000 people we have at least one paint shop that can do this.

Thanks Dazzler, quite a few paint shops offer that service here, so without a recognised paint code for the silver, that's the way I'll go.

Appreiate your reply.

Once you've gone black you'll never go back...
