Is there a paint code for '93 GTS wheels?

I know people talk about Wurth wheel silver or something like that, but has anyone actually used a specific OEM silver, from Porsche or any manufacturer for that matter, that is precisely the same as the original color of these wheels? I'm going to get these wheels re-shot by my painter, but he prefers "paint codes", though he could match to suit, but precision is the name of the game. Does anybody have one? Here are the wheels in question;






My God, this '93 Zermatt silver/light gray/classic gray GTS just arrived this afternoon from southern California, and here we go again! Looks like it's gonna be another 1-2 months of hard labor again to turn my 62nd 928 into Low Miler quality standards. Ironically, this will also mark my 62nd 928 purchase. That's right, not a single 928 I've ever purchased was up to my standards when I bought it, including every single one of them from the 8,000 mile car, right on up to the 80K'ers.

Oh well, my problem.........

Todd

http://www.autogeek.net/wurth-silver-paint.html

"Wurth Silver Wheel Paint is formulated to perfectly match the shade of silver used by German auto manufacturers. Made in Germany, this touch-up paint is sold throughout Europe to manage the damage caused by the excessive brake dust produced by German cars. Now this product has found its way to the U.S. to touch up German imports. If you have a German vehicle, Wurst Silver Wheel Paint should be in your garage. It’s perfect for small scrapes or all-over repainting."

That's an RL kinda answer there, sunshine. I'll put that one right up there next to "search engine!". But thanks for the friendly response anyway. And yeah, 62 928's over the last 12 years. Hum, dealers license? That wouldn't be necessary there biscuit, but thanks for the inquiry into my personal business anyway.....

Todd.....BAM!

Todd, maybe its best you don't tell Ryan about driving over 55 MPH and failing to pay state sales tax on all ebay purchases?

Seriously if you use the search function on rennlist the whole dealer thing is explained.

I saw what you were droppin' and I was just pickin' it up. I certainly wasn't coming back at you in an defensive manner or anything, I was just playing around, bro. Thus the "Bam!" Anyway, it's 12 cars a year here in IN., but that's 12 cars per person, 12 cars per INC., 12 cars per LLC, you see where I'm going with this. But IN. is one of the highest cars per person volumes in the country, though.

It's all good.... Todd
