Looking for Color Code or similar color?

Looking for the color code on the Work Zeast ST1 & 2 Models? (image below)

I'm buying some Work Gnosis CV203s wheels and I want the lip to be polished but want the face to be the color of the wheels Work Zeast ST1 & 2 wheels.

The color on the Work Wheels website is called Trans Grey Polished. Would anyone know where I can get the color code from or if anyone has it please?

Thanks.

Those wheels seem to be gunmetal of some kind, but almost look like Space Grey, which is color code A52 or you could go darker and get Ferric Grey, which is color code A80.

That's what I was thinking too, space grey, but how to I get the A52 space grey paint for rims?

And it's deff not gunmetal, gunmetal is a lot darker, I love that shade of grey.

I'm thinking of calling Work Wheels to get the paint code but I don't think they would give me the code, I feel that wheel companies are very secretive about that stuff.

You can have most paint shops mix this paint, you start with a base and add pigment until you get the desired color. Body shops have a chart for mixing colors, so they'll get it close to a factory code for you. A good body shop will match whatever you want them to, so you can get a custom gunmetal color done that may be based off of a Space Grey A52 color code. If you don't want to paint, I'm sure a powder coater can match factory colors as well. Hopefully this makes sense, and good luck.
