factory wheels are dull
hi there I have the factory 18inch wheels with the polished face and silver backing, I was wondering if anyone knows what color the silver/grey is as I wanna scuff them up and repaint them to factory or close to but keep the polished face

I thought you meant they're boring=)

MB Bright silver I believe. You'll also need a clear coat as it's metallic. Ford Moon dust is a good alternative as its a little brighter if that floats your boat.

I had my wheels refinished by the auto body shop, and the color used was Bright Silver Metallic (paint code 744).
