OEM Rim Color Paint Stick

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Just purchased a 2008 Journey, It's everything I expected. Really nice.
I have a couple of scratches on the OEM 17" Rims.
Does anyone know the Dupli Color code for the proper paint stick color?
Or any other brand that's a match.
Thanks

Personally, I would check my local Infiniti dealer's parts department first. They may have an exact match for the wheel color. If not, I would check with one of the numerous wheel refinishing sites on the web. They may be able to suggest a fix or sell you the right product to do the job. Choosing one that is close to where you live may enable you to take the vehicle directly to them. Good luck!

Keep us updated on this.

I'm sure you're not the only one with scratches on their Rims.

^^ He's not, I curbed one this morning, after I was all pissed about my wife curbing another one last week. INFINITI: Please start putting tires with rim guard lips on your wheels. Can they really cost that much more? I am so pissed at myself over this, it has ruined my Friday... :(

I've never found an Infiniti OEM colour match... but, VW Reflex Silver is a perfect match to our rim colour... I curbed the front right rim pretty good last year and used this to spray over once I had sanded the surface down to remove the rash. Hope this helps.

I used this process on a previous vehicle and the results were good enough that the leasing company couldn't tell the wheels were painted on lease return. (2 wheels)
