Does anyone know the paint color for the Nova rims?

Good luck with that. It's a hypersilver. The closest I could find was the color on some Infiniti cars. I ended up bringing my wheels to prince wheel services in North Carolina. They fixed the butcher job the local wheel refinishers did.

Thank you. I'll try to match it. Have just a couple marks to touch up.

According to LEW they are a "crystal titanium" finish (scroll to bottom of page). Don't know if that's helpful.

There is an OZ Racing catalog at this link, dated 2017:

https://www.parimvelg.ee/kataloogid/oz-racing-kataloog.pdf

On page 41 Crystal Titanium is listed as a finish option for the OZ Ultraleggera wheels. Being that recent (and maybe still a current finish), perhaps OZ could provide more specific information if needed. Or, if we're really lucky, possibly touch up paint to match...🤔..wouldn't that be nice.

If it's like many wheels its layered up to give the depth and color. Prime, black, base color, CC

If you have mild curb rash and just want to touch-up to prevent corrosion or flaking, brush-paint the blemishes silver, then clear-coat. (See if OZ would give you a sample of the paint.) 😈

BUT you will STILL always see and be aware of the gashes. 😕 (Nobody else will notice it though, LOL)



If you want to go further without a professional job, look at this:

Great clip Atwell, thank you.

I wouldn't bother. Just let me take them off your hands...I'll even pay for the shipping to help out.
