Anyone find color match for VMR Gunmetal Wheels?

stupordave · 04-02-2013, 05:38 PM

Got my first scratch after 6 months from a stupid wheel brush. Want to gently sand and respray the section. Anyone find a match for the color? VMR couldn't give me any paint code info. Duplicolor gunmetal is too dark. $7 down the drain.

same here gunmetal code i bought graphite but graphite has multiple shades so mine came out too dark as well will try another shad see how it plays out. $8 down the drain.

OK Tried Dupli-Color Graphite Metalic paiint code NG CC 414 (NGCC414) think its the closest match to VMR V701 gunmetal paint from vmr. It still looks a touch too dark but i went over the previous paint which was darker that has not fully dried yet but looks almost identical. Try on a sample then compare if you want exact match for me its good enough.

Still too dark but at least it's not white. You have to be careful to only get into the stratch and not anywhere else. I'm still looking for the perfect match.
