Hi All, I have a vanquish 2015 model and after a long road trip have a few chips and wish to touch them up. Without the correct colour I am flying blind. Can you assist with what this colour is. Is it graphite or anthracite or meaty bite. Your urgent help would be appreciated as I am trying to get it tip top for my nephews formal parade.

Take a wheel to a body shop with a paint scanner. They should be able to use the scanner to determine the exact composition colour wise and then make you up a rattle can for approx £20.

Lots of them have the scanners these days, so ring round ones local to you and ask the question.

If that doesn't work, I'd say it was some sort of dark grey :-)

Hi all thanks for your suggestions. I took it to our auto store called Supercheap, its like autobarn or repco if you have those and the colour is graphite. I bought 2 pressure packs 1 graphite and 1 anthracite and Graphite is a match so did the repairs yesterday eve and all like new again. No big chips just some flaked edges from hiting water and pot ho;es at speed which jet blasted the wheels.
Did a thorough clean , a wipe with thinners after a light 500grit sand and a spray with colour and clear and as good as new
