Correct Wurth Paint?
I am looking at repainting the black center caps on my Fuchs, the issue is when I look at paints on our host's site there are a few different Blacks. Which one would be correct for black center Fuchs?

You will get at least two answers. But I do believe Matte Black is the wheel paint.

If he means "Satin", then yes he is right. IIRC it's also the proper color for your blackout trim, as well.

I don't have a picture of a finished wheel, but these two shots are good representations of the gloss level of Wurth Satin.

Told you - you would get two answers. Matte is the wheel color it is not flat. Here is a picture of Matte Black the satin is a trim paint
 All Four

OK...so sounds like the matte lacquer is correct for WHEEL centers, the Satin keeps showing up as flexible trim paint.

Rust-O-Leum 7777 is widely regarded as the best black for Fuchs.
