I did a quick Google and couldn't find this info. You might have to resort to some trial and error. I find that the cap color on spray cans is usually pretty accurate...

What he said... I’ve seen this discussed in previous threads, and I’m not aware of anyone locating the paint code.
I had a few small rim blemishes on my 2015 as I purchased it used & I’ve tried a few different touch up paints without much success. Again- these were very small scratches etc. so I haven’t looked into it lately..... but now my curiosity is peaked once again!

For some strange reason, the wheel paint details are guarded like some type of national treasure. I have yet to hear someone succeeded at locating the code. I have had one of my wheels repaired and repainted at the dealer but when asked, I was told they subcontract this work and don't know the code....

Reviving this topic. My sport wheels were perfect until the top shop had work on it today. I had a guy tell me that the color is an exact match to Tesla wheel paint but not sure of the code.

Not likely to be a paint "code" per se. I'd bet they're powdercoated.

If they're rashed, unless you're planning on sanding and smoothing the scrapes, just find something close and touch them up - and don't hit any more curbs. ;)

If you live in the SF bay area I can recommend a guy who does an amazing job on rashed wheels. He matched the paint almost perfectly. He said he uses the same paint as what's on Tesla wheels. I've considered buying a paint pen from automotive touch up (Tesla code PMSS) to see if it's close.
