Yea...there's a separate thread on this that I asked about a couple weeks ago. Do a search for 'rim' and 'paint' in the archives.

Uh, not exactly. That's the paint code for the 2001 wheel. But they changed the color in 2002 and 9789 won't match that. If you have a 2002 and up you can try this if you need to do small touchups by brush or airbrush. Find an auto parts store like Pep Boys that sells Platicote touch up in the 1 oz. bottle. Get one bottle of GM 3876 (that's WAPB 9789) and Nissan 3128. Mix 1:1. It's a perfect match for my wheels that were refinished to the 2002 color. At least I think it's the 2002 color. The SOB's at Wheels America Houston refinished my 2001 wheels in the wrong color and then wouldn't give me the paint code for the color they used. It looks like the 2002 color to me.
