Default Mag Wheel Paint

Does anyone know the GM paint number for mag wheel paint, or know where I can get some. I got a nick in my front wheel and a tiny one in the back and would like to touch them up ASAP.

Thanx

I know that you can get this paint in the small touch-up jars from you local Chev. dealer. I got one a while back, but don't have immediated access to where I have the jar stored. I got it by a going to their parts room and just asked for it. They did have to order it because they did not have it locally.

The paint the GM dealer ordered for me is Bronze Code N73 WA163D. I touched up my mag wheel and it looks perfect.
Good luck

Bronze paint for Magnesium Sport Custom Wheels - Option code N73 - Paint code WA-EQ163D or GM paint code WAQ-163D or on touchup bottle from GM Goodwrench it is simply WA 163D.

I would not use the touchup paint, since you will probably not be happy with the way it turns out. Any good shop can dismount the wheel, tape and sand the small area affected, airbrush the color and clear, and have you back on the road in an hour. It should not cost more that $100, and it should be rather much less. This stuff is the price of admission for these wheels if you actually drive the thing.
