Alloy wheel colour code

Hello
I'm new to the forum and recently purchased my 2020 Mazda 3 GT.
The body colour is grey for which I have the paint colour code.
I have a relatively minor scratch on one of the alloy wheels which (I think) are a gun metal grey?
I'm trying to find the closest colour code to make a minor repair to the paintwork.
Thanks

You don't need a paint code for the wheels as they are a standard gunmetal finish not a body colour. Pick up Dupli-Color or Rust-Oleum wheel paint in gunmetal or dark argent metallic, lightly sand buy bmw car parts the scratch with 400 grit wet and dry sandpaper, clean it, apply thin coats and finish with clear lacquer. Won't be perfect up close but will blend well. A smart repair specialist can colour match on the spot if you want a cleaner result.
