There must be a hundred shades of silver - my 2000 alum wheels are painted silver - has a few chips in the paint I would love to touch up. So can anyone give an educated guess what the Dupi Color paint code would be?
thanks

nope - my car is a ‘98 - got it a week ago - the PO I assume changed the wheels (glad he did- wagon wheels sucks) I assume the silver used is the basic paint color used on all Chevy wheels.

Here is some information: http://www.c6registry.com/Technical/wheelcolors.htm

Not sure how accurate it is as the Z06 wheel colors don't look right - 2001 was different than the 2002-2004.

Here is another: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...hup-paint.html

The name GM uses in relation to the wheel color is "Sparkle Silver" from what I can remember. You may try a google search with that name to see if what you're looking for comes up. Good luck
