M2 437 Wheel Paint Code ?
I've managed to pick up the slightest gravel rash on one of my wheels.It's limited to the silver paint next to the tyre and is probably the size of a typical small finger nail.
An Internet search gives a vague " ferric grey metallic " code A80. Can anybody confirm this or know of the correct code ? |

Update for anybody in the future:
It turns out that the 437 is a combination of a painted and diamond cut/finished wheel. What looks like the Grey portion is actually the diamond polished part which has been coated with a tinted lacquer.The black is obviously painted. I've been fortunate enough to find somebody who knows what they're doing.The whole process took a couple of hours and the finish is flawless. |

Unfortunately not as it was the last thing on my mind.It was a very small rash,but enough of one to have had me in a bit of a flap lol. As a side note these Michelin's don't have the most generous wheel protection and like you say I'm sure there will be quite a few of us looking for a repair. |
