Curbed my wheels :/
I was a careless idiot and curbed one of my wheels
Luckily using the search function on the forums I found a couple of DIY threads to fix this up....
Question is, does anyone know paint type matches these stock rims?
Thanks..

i have couple of curbs on my stockers too (same as urs on my '06), not as deep as urs tho. i'm in the process of fixing it using the available DIY here.
since i don't know the paint color, i went on buying couple of spray cans test-matching the color, tho i haven't been successful with it.
still looking for a match..

Hey mate
I feel for you. Nissan will never disclose the piant code for those wheels. But this I can tell you, 1. they have a black primer ( you can probably see that ) 2. the colour is a translucent silver 3. they are finished with a clear. So it's pain to re-finish even for the pros. What i did was follow the repair steps in the " how to's " and then found an auto paint supply shop and asked them to do the a match by eye. I reckon I got lucky as the match is pretty spot on. No pics as yet as i am up to the clear "stage" and we are having huge storms atm. The only masking i did was on the tyre, the trick is to blend the new paint into the existing. No sharp lines of difference.
Good luck.
