Touch up paint for 20” db9 alloys

[anonymous-user]

I am struggling to find the right one. Asked my dealer for the paint code for the 20” diamond cut 10 spoke alloys on my 9.2 and the response was that there isnt one.

I am looking at this page of touch up paint kits and wanted to ask here if anyone would suggest the closest match to the original colour of the alloys.

I find it hard to believe that aston martin do not have a colour code for the paint but alas that is the official response.....

Any help or advice much appreciated.

Diamond cut will be just that, diamond cut alloy that is then clear lacquered. There will not be a paint code.

I thought they were painted and then cut, thanks for the info.

What would be a good colour match to the grey alloy in your experience?

I wanted similar for my wheels and went along to a local refurb centre. Asked them for advice and asked could a buy a bottle of their recommended touch up. Happily they disappeared into the back of the workshop and came out with a small bottle of paint which they gave to me. If you don't ask you don't get.

I got wheels repairs for £90 a corner to look brand new after some unwelcome interaction with hard road furniture that looked much worse than your own.

I had a wheel refurbished and the dropped a wheel nut on it during a brake pad change..went back to the guy that did the wheel and he gave me the tip .. nail polish.

OPI colour “my silk tie” is a pretty good match for my DB9 wheels


Edited to add: small imperfections only!

A useful topic and a helpful tip from this poster.
Lucky for me that it's a colour of nail polish that I often use...goes well with my blusher.

I got the nail varnish on ebay and it was delivered today. For £5 it was worthwhile. Although it isnt perfect the colour is very close and it certainly takes ones eye away from the black chips that were there before. You would now have to look hard to find the touched up areas. Once it has fully cured it should be job done.

Thanks again for the post, really helpful.
