paint code for R3 rims?
does anyone know exactly what color they use for the paint for the 19 inch R3 rims?
|
Not sure you will be able to find it. I searched quite a bit last year and called a few places. The dealership did not know and MazdaNA did not know or would not tell me.
|
Send a note to Tommy at Finishline Performance (Rosenthal Mazda), with your VIN, and he'll probaby be able to tell you. He was able to with my Shinka rims.
|
I'd be interested if you get a paint code. I sent them an email as well and they never responded so maybe it was a busy week and they forget to respond.
|
Has anyone found out what the code is?
|
I doubt the dealer has access to this information and highly doubt they had a paint code for Shinka wheels either. This just is not info that is released. What you can do though is call around and find a high end paint and body place that has a paint scanner. That is what they did on my bosses rare 21" AMG wheels and they got it perfect.
|
I was unable to get the paint code from Mazda or BBS. The paint shop I used does a lot of work for a local Mazda dealership and they borrowed a R3 for the day and mixed the paint to match.
|
try corvette zr1 wheel color or even jeep cherokee srt8 have similar color that will look as good
|
I have yet to see anyone being able to get remotely close to the depth of Shinka and R3 wheels. Most come out looking like a opaque grey. Good luck and get back to us when you do find something that is at least close to the depth of either color. I would like to eventually redo my stockers...
|
After weeping softly to myself upon finding that I'd lightly rashed the lip on one of the wheels on my R3, I set out to find a paint match.
Mazda was of no help, but I discovered a bottle of Toyota 1E3 "Phantom Grey Pearl" touch-up at my local Canadian Tire that is as close as an OE match would ever likely be. |
Mazda does not list any paint colour codes for their painted Alloy Wheels, never have.
But I have found from Mazda Europe parts that they list the R3 wheels with the name of colour. 9965-04-8090 19 inch....They call the colour GUN METALLIC. This is the only wheel where they give an actual name to it for Series II RX-8 (R3). My limited edition wheels on my MX-5 (chrome paint look) Mazda parts call them ''BRIGHT'' painted. That is the best I can do... I have no idea what paint code "Gun Metallic" is, can anyone remember if Mazda ever did a body colour of this name?...I can't just yet??...have to sleep on it.. |
Nissan has a 'Gun Metallic' in their JUKE duco..??

There doesn't seem to be a paint code for the wheels. Some people think it's the same as BBS Anthracite, but I haven't seen those wheels side by side. For touch up, there is a Toyota paint that many recommend, and I even bought, but I never got around to trying. I had all 4 wheels refinished professionally, and they had to custom blend a match.

I just used Toyota P/N 00258001E321 touch up paint on mine. It's an almost perfect match. https://www.amazon.com/Toyota-00258-...3+00258001e321 |
