rossario rim colour code

[messy_smith]

Hello forum members.

Would anyone know the colour code or a touch up paint product for the arteon graphite rims?

i can see graphite paint is available but not sure if off the shelf colour is a match.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi Matt

That is an age old question, dating back to 2019, doesn't seem to be something that can easily be answered :confused:

My local VW dealer in Brisbane didn't have any info on this either when I asked them this last year.

I managed to find through what I think was a Canadian Arteon forum ages ago a suggestion that the Graphite Pearl (NH658P) from Honda was as close as you might find without getting it professionally matched/sprayed.

I was able to source an OEM Honda Touch-Up Paint Pen in Graphite Pearl (NH658P) on eBay at the time, and I've got to say it's pretty close! Product I got looks exactly like the Dupli-color scratch-fix pens that you can get here at Supercheap, but with Honda OEM packaging and labelling. It has the touch-up paint and a small pot of clear coat separately in the same unit, each with their own applicators.

It was shipped from the U.S., which I was surprised about as usually they won't ship flammables, no matter the size. I had an earlier shipment from a retailer ship and get disposed of at the U.S. freight forwarder for this reason.

Certainly beats a black Sharpie, but you can still tell when you get close enough that it's a touch-up job.

Cheers,
Matt.

Thanks for all the info.
I will most likely swap out the spare rim.

There are also mobile mag wheel repairers that are reasonably priced. That's what I'm planning on doing
