Default MY03 WRX wheels

Anyone know the paint code for the standard 'silvery greyee' alloys??

I contacted Subaru UK and they don't do a touch up paint. Others have gone to bodyshop and asked them to match it or Halfrauds might be able to mix something up I believe.

Unhappy

Scoob dealers can't give you a code, none exists apprently.

A good wheel refurbisher will do the job though.

I made do with silver smooth hammerite, which is thick enough to hide the worst of any scuffing and cuts - trick is to build up the paint layers into dents, cuts and grooves so that you end up with even surface - you can disguise any obvious end of original paint area and hammerited area by brushing lightly with small amount of paint on an almost dry brush to blend the areas together so then the join is less obvious. The result may not stand the very closest of scrutiny but at least it's a massive improvement to the superficial appearance if you are on a budget.

Just do a tiny bit first to make sure you're happy with it.
