Wheel paint color code 2018 RT

Nope, ain't got it for my MARS RED 2018 RT, either. Let me know if you find it, and I'll add it to my RT's "database".

But .... my 2 cents **:

If you're just touching up the wheels, go to a dealer and ask for it. Either buy it there, or go to one of the online car paint stores and match it. They might be able to provide a sample by OEM color code or year/make/model info.

If completely repainting the wheels, who's doing the work, and how (i.e. commercial sprayer?)?

If you're having it professionally done, they should be able to take care of the color code, and achieve a close match.

If you're doing the work, again, you can match the color at a paint store, and get a pint of the super-hard acrylic stuff the paint cars with, or a bottle of touch up paint.

Since I doubt you'll be able to achieve an OEM quality for the wheels (are they powder coated? dunno, again, check with the dealer; they could be), I'd suggest that you just find a decent enamel (e.g. Rustoleum has an industrial paint line which is pretty good) in a color match that's close enough that you can live with it. Rough up the wheel paint and smooth out any bad nicks, use primer first if they're really bad, and slap two of three coats on them (i.e. with the tires off). Since you'll probably be doing it again if you own the bike very long, you'll probably be money and time ahead doing it this way, and again, the results can be very good with just an OTC industrial spray paint.


** Note: worth a lot less than 2 cents
