trying to do some patchup work on the rims

the guy at the custom paint shop says he doesnt do wheel paints so I need to find out what colour are the rims.

**********s says they are silver/gunmetal

Im guessing the insides are gunmetal while the spokes are silver.. How would I go on matching the silver and where could I find paint bombs like this?

The M6 type 346 wheels come in a silver machined face with gunmetal on the inner barrel. I don't think that you'll be able to replicate the machined face as it's not a paint finish. Feel free to shoot me over a PM if you need a replacement wheel!

M6 replica wheels are generally Gunmetal Machined Face. If you're looking to repair a wheel, it will be hard and expensive to get the machined face refinished, but the gunmetal painted interior will be standard to refinish.

Hope this helps!

hmm .. Im going to be trying to repair the curb rash on the edges, I don't want to refinish the entire wheel it'll just be the edges, should I try a silver or chrome?? I this I can blend in the edges..

I would probably try chrome more than silver and the Machined face is shinier than just a silver paint. Good Luck

Im going to try chrome then.. I realize it is shinier but I will be doing the edges so Im not too concerned I just want to get ride of the stratch marks and the dark primer/ alloy beneath the scratches

I would suggesting getting it professionally repaired or just buying a new wheel. The chrome or silver paint will be a noticeable difference from the "brushed" finish
