I bought my 2005 SS/SC about a month ago and when I got it there are a couple of the rims that have some chips and one has curb rash on it. I am wondering if anyone knows the paint code number or color of the wheels (the gunmetal ones of course) I would like to have a couple of mine repainted before the car season gets here. Thanks in advance

 

Gm has the code but you will wanna paint all 4 at once or they won't match!

 

Damn... Well to be honest if I have to paint all 4 wheels anyways then I don't know if I will go with the same color... I was considering a satin black color but haven't been able to see any red cars with them yet. Anyone got pics ?

 

bumpity bump

 

Its a pretty involved multi-stage painting process for the stock wheel finish . The best you can do is get something thats close .

 

Thanks SilverSS/SC thats exactly what I was looking for, I didn't think it was just a simple one stage I guess I'll just either look for a set of aftermarket rims or someone willing to part with one or 2 stock ss/sc wheels...

 

dont go satin go with a ghost chrome color satin looks dirty

 

part number is *hotpink* try it out

lol

 

HAHAHAHHA that would look.... HOT, you know the ladies would be surrounding you then... and some men.

 

thanks for the serious replies... no worries I sprayed the rims satin black and love the look.

 

The color is called "DISCONTINUED" as in GM is discontinuing them due to the coating flaking off and too many warrenty claims from them. GM posted a bulletin as to the discontinuation of these wheels a few months back. Once they're gone they're ALL GONE! Polished will be the only ones availible after a while. I don't know how many of the non chrome loking ones are left but you may want to get them while you can.
