Wa9243 is the paint code for comp grey. i painted my silver Z wheels comp grey. the silver code is out too but i dont know it. do a search on the forum. paint is base/clear coat.

my wheels were sanded down before paint as the shop said the bead blaster might prove too harsh and eat thru the aluminum

According to the GM Color Compatibility Guide, the standard silver wheel color code is WA837K. I agree with ShawnDFW that the Competition Gray color code is WA9243.
