Looking for paint code of OEM Rims

Have the standard sedan rims and noticed a small chip. Can't find the paint code and was wondering if anyone knows whether dealer sells the touch-up paint or there's a close match I can get elsewhere. Thanks.

No idea. Try calling the dealer, I am sure they can tell you. Most dealers do refinishing and have to have the paint.

TTT - Still having trouble finding a matching silver paint. Dealer does not have any info and suggested finding a matching silver from the auto parts store but it's hit and miss.

There's got to be someone here who has a matching paint code. Bueller?

I'm sure any good wheel repair shop can fix it, but they may or may not tell you which paint/code their using.

I'm just trying to touch up a few minor stone chips on the spokes - nothing requiring a repair shop. Just looking for anyone that's already found a close match off the shelf.

I thought all the dealers do refinishing. They should just tell you what paint they use.

I went through this a while back with another car. These wheels use a special paint, only a wheel shop that specializes in wheel refinishing can get you the paint. Hope that helps.
