Paint gurus please step in

Ok guys I'm wondering what the paint code and color is for the 20th anniversary/titanium edition rims. I have my 350z rims that I'd like to color match to my stock anniversary wheels. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks a bunch.

Nissan dosent give out color codes for there wheels.

Those wheels have a special flake, Its an extremely fine mica. which gives it that liquid molten look to it. Its gonna be extremely hard to match perfectly. Best bet is to find a color similar to it and go from there.

Off the top of my head I would say KY0 with some tweeking should get you close.

Why not go to a paint shop with one of the wheels and see what they can do for you?

Take a AE wheel, look up a local powder coater and ask them for some samples to match ad their help. Paint will not last youll be disappointed after a few seasons with painted wheels.

Any rim repair shop can do this for you.. They call it "special finish silver" they also say most Mercedes and bmws have this finish.. I had to repair two of my ae rims after my mom wanted to motorcross over a turn median in the road.. Perfect match until you realize the older rims (or the center caps for us AE owners) on your car look kinda dull..
