Default How to find wheel paint code?

Our used 2019 stingray came with “Motorsports black painted aluminum rims”. Recently, a curb jumped out and scratched a small spot down to the aluminum. I’m planning on sanding this area smooth again, painting with primer and touching up with black but I have no idea how or where to find the correct black color.

The car is torch red so I don’t think the color code (wherever it is) will reveal the wheel color.

Any ideas on how to find the correct color?

TIA

Mark

Look under the C7 discussion. There is a stickey at the top that reads official color threads. At the bottom of that is body and wheel touchup paint. You'll find the correct code for your wheels. It helps to have the correct RPO wheel code. It will be listed on your build sheet if thay are original.
