Fifthcorps 25 Posted August 18, 2020 Is anyone aware of a paint code for the OE wheel paint color? The wheels are original and in almost perfect shape except for areas of paint chipping off. I'd love to get a matching paint to touch it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely unsure of what you're getting at there, But I'm not looking to repaint them, just touch up the finish with a matching paint since asides from a some slight chips they're in excellent condition. My original question was if anyone is aware of Honda having had a paint code for reference to these wheels or has experience with a product that is a close match.

slowindown 494 Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) As mentioned, rustoleum aluminum is pretty close, maybe a little shinier. The link to the can below is what I used. Lowes carries it, walmart might too. Here's a picture showing freshly painted front wheels on my 02 rancher compared to the 18 year old originally painted rears. You can spray some in a cup and use it as touch up paint too. Well its not showing the can. Here's a link to it: https://mobileimages.lowes.com/product/converted/020066/020066751586.jpg?size=pdhi Edited August 18, 2020 by slowindown 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 5,860 Posted August 18, 2020 if your talking oem paint .... it's import magnesium.....(very costly paint) i looked high, and low when i had plans shoot my wheels .... but had already been testing with plast-dip .... and bright aluminum is almost a perfect match... the only thing is .... it's a rubber coating... and needs time to cure.. and, as time goes on... it gets very durable... second pic is plasti-dip. slowindown ... those wheels look great !!

But even with oem paint there’s probably going to be some difference, especially since your paint is 25 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
