Does anyone here know the color code for TE edition wheels?

After 8 years my wheels are starting to flake and I am thinking of getting them repainted.

 

i just asked this man. apparently nissan wont give out color codes but supposedly at any autobody/paint/powdercoater should be able to do it with a color called special silver. i guess its a common wheel color on high end german cars.

 

Haven't posted here in ages.......I guess I will have to visit a couple of powdercoaters to see what they have to say.

 

Funny how it's stated the Nissan wont give color codes, but we can find the color code on our VIN plate for the body color.

WV2 is the Polished Ti. I wasn't aware there were color codes for wheels.

It almost seems as if they are a sorta polished versions of the 'plain' ones.

That color is often referred to as "Hyper Silver" Or as on the E39 BMW M5 Wheels "Black Shadow Silver"

I know that several wheel refinishing places claim too do this color but I would clarify with them because there are about a million different ways to interpret the name and appearance first glance.

 

Its 2014 so does anybody know the color code so I can buy this color wheel paint to refinish my wheels?

 

Im painting my G35 wheels, working on the sanding as I write this, bought Duplicolor Hyper Silver Kit.. Will be painting tomorrow, do it yourself and save some $$$$$

 

Show us some detailed pics of hyper silver if it looks good enough ill go for it too, I see its a 2 can kit.

 

KN0 is the color code your looking for on a black base coat

 

KH0 comes out as white pearl paint I dunno if it'll look titanium silverish

 

QX1 is white pearl
BNS0595 Platinum Met (KN0) Duplicolor

This is a video on the How to from Dupli color.... http://www.duplicolor.com/projects/project/hyperSilver/ I will post some pics as soon as Im done with them

 

Ive heard more pple mention that the KH0 from duplicolor matches the titanium finish so I want to ask something, everyone says to use a black basecoat so is KH3 which is nissan black is that ok to use as a basecoat before the KH0 duplicolor? And how many base coats and how many top coats are needed if anyones done it successfully

 

In for pics of those painted wheels! Are you done yet!?!?!?

 

I used that Hypersilver kit before and imo that's garbage, I ended up going to home depot and getting a similar silver color and redoing them again.

 

Can someone post some pictures in this thread? I want to redo my TE wheels but cant seem to find the exact color.

 

I also used this and I was garbage. Had to redo the painting again

 

What color did you use? and how did it turn out?

 

I used that Duplicolor Hypersilver and it's just like some smoke clear coat. I used it sanding down the rims using primer and that hypersilver spray. I believe it only look something similar to hypersilver if you use this on a chrome color rim.

 

Yeah, hypersilver don't even come CLOSE to the silver on the factory wheels.. I was kinda bummed out.. spend 25 bucks and didn't have enough to paint all four.. I don't know what color to paint the wheels now

 

did u use a black base color before applying the hypersilver cuz that what ppl here are saying to do

 

No, but I ended up painting them metallic silver and it look way better than before

 

im sure they looked better compared to curbed or scratched wheels. do you have any pictures before and after or comparing to the original titanium color? gotta redo mine eventually

 

I'll have to search on my camera, it's been a while

 

 

Looks good. Not a match to the original but you still did a good job. Guess it's near impossible to get that exact OEM shine.

 

I don't did the color that well.. I don't know what to do to get the shine

 

Good coat of clear and lightly buff it

 

I guess I meant the right base coat
