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

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
