Magnesium wheel paint code

Looking for the Dupont paint code for the magnesium wheels (N73). Does anyone have any experience in having these wheels stripped, repainted and cleared?

Thanks :cheers:

"stripped, repainted and cleared"

Sure, that could be done for some serious $$$, but why? If it is just a few chips or scrapes, that can be taken care of much more simply with a very good result.

Hey Vetteman407, if you find that paint in a small bottle, please let me know too. My e-mail is sjjohnson@securenet.net, I'm not far from you in St.Lazare, Que. I have a few dings I'd ike to touch up as well.

Thanks! :)

Ken Fitchner Chevrolet or any Chevrolet dealer can order the paint for the
magnesium wheels. The paint is manufactured by DupliColor and is available in a small tube with a paint brush. RPO code N-73 is all that was needed to order the paint.

A few body shops will repaint the wheels, finding one is not easy at least in Northwestern Iowa. Do not strip the yellow Magnesium lettering as it cannot be replaced. It is not a decal according to the manufacture Speed Line.

Good Luck
