I'm thinking of painting my wheels the factory gunmetal nissan uses on it's wheels? Maxima, gtr, etc....Anybody know the color code they use? And also should a clear coat be used over the gunmetal? Thanks guys, here my car with the wheels currently painted a gloss black, but after installing the 2014 sport grill with the gunmetal, I'm thinking the gunmetal on the wheels will contrast better

 

Does anyone know the original grey or silver color for the wheels iwanna do mine theyre worn out.

 

Jacking my thread? Lol jk

 

I did a lot of research on this looking for touch up paint for my LE wheels. I dont believe nissan publishes the color code for its wheels. The closest I could find is K11 which is definitely not a perfect match, but its close enough that no one would notice my touchups if they werent really, really looking for it. I posted pictures somewhere here. I'll look for the link.

i just used a little touch up brush. But I think that duplicolor is the K11 color for spray paint.

 

Thanks for the help, I'll post some pics when it's done

 

Here's what I did, I was in autozone and came across duplicolor gm gray mettallic, sprayed some on a stick and brought it out to the car, voila almost identical to metallic in the sport grill. what do you guys think? Also 2 coats of clear were applied over the paint and sorry the car is absolutely filthy right now, the line to the car wash yesterday was ridiculous

 

Came out good!

When I couldn't find the color code, I plasti-dipped mine.

 

Thanks I'm happy with how it looks, I've tried the matte plasti dip numerous times and after awhile they would look like crap from the brake dust including the plasti dip gunmetal which looked more like primer. I plasti dipped first and painted over it. Surprisingly it is a very smooth finish. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for maxima with the factory gunmetal rims and see how close the color really is
