Default 'Zeus' paint code

Just bought a set of 'zeus' wheels off an S-type R. In the process of sanding them and priming them now. Does anyone have the paint code for them?

Come to think of it I don't think I have ever seen a paint code for a wheel.

Seems that way to me as well - I've been looking everywhere for it. You have any suggestions on a color?

There was a paint place where I used to live (Orlando) that would color match a paint, and put it in a small aerosol can for you. I would check local paint stores to see if they can do that for you.

This is the place I used to use Ben's Paint Supply | PPG Distributor – We Help Our Customers Satisfy Theirs

I own a body shop in NY so I can match any color or paint them any color I want. I sanded the wheels and never had my painter do a color match spray out but I wanted to match factory color. I'll figure it out.

I recently refinished my Zeus wheels as well.

I didn't bother matching the factory, I simply wanted something 'bright' and 'silver'.

I had the local body and paint supply shop mix me up a quart of VW/AUDI - ARROW SILVER.

This got me pretty much exactly what I wanted, however, one wheel has recently sustained some scuffing, so if I go in and repaint them all again, I'll be going with VW/AUDI - REFLEX SILVER, which is a shade brighter, and I think perfect at that point.

I painted the calipers to match while I'm at it.

I went with Porsche arctic silver metallic (92U) and will be doing the calipers as well. I'll upload photos of the process and the wheels on the car.
