Paint Code for Silver Painted Wheels?
I need touchup paint for my Silver-painted aluminum wheels - QG6
Anyone have the paint code? I ordered WA8867-W, but it's a bit too grey and not enough metallic.
FYI update. The touchup paint for the Silver-painted aluminum wheels (QG6) on the Stingray (non-Z51) is Sparkle Silver - WA9967. Repaired some scratches on my passenger side wheels and they turned out great.

9967 / Sparkle Silver Metallic

Wheels have a little thicker coat of clear, so if they are just small scratches you may be able to polish them out using compound for new paint.

It would be great if the codes could be linked to specific C7 wheels. At introduction the base silver gray 18/19 wheels were called "sparkle silver" so it is likely that they are 9967. Interestingly the silver Z51 wheels appear to be a lighter shade of silver than the base, with less sparkle.

Thanks for finding those codes

I think it would be helpful to collect all the paint codes for body, trim and wheels and post them as a sticky.

Owners of silver Z51 wheels please note that your wheels are a lighter shade of silver, without the coarse metallic "sparkle".

Can I assume that for the silver painted Z51 wheels the correct code is Ultras Silver Metallic 8867? I don't have any curb rash-just a couple of chips on the spokes that could be filled in with the correct color. The wrong color would draw more attention to them than the chips themselves.
