Default ITR wheel color code

did a search and came up with some answers but i got 2 of them and dont know which one is the proper color code Solaris Silver and Kaiser Silver? Or are both colors wrong?
nsxtasy said it was Solaris Silver, paint code NH-536M in one of his threads and someone else said it was NH-546M, can anyone tell me the correct color code for the itr wheels? Thank you

I used the Solaris Silver (NH-536M) and it was perfect. But the two colors are almost identical. Use either one and you'll be fine.

I used the Kaiser Silver, pretty much a dead on match.

Solaris Silver, which is made for the gunmetal wheels of the '94-96 NSX, is NH-536M. Kaiser Silver, which is made for a body color for the '97-99 NSX, is NH-546M. Either one will look fine.

The original, factory color for the wheels is Kaiser Silver (NH-546M), so it will be an exact match. As nsxtasy mentioned, Solaris Silver is similar and should also provide a close match.

I still have my doubts about that.

I've seen Kaiser Silver NSXs. It's a highly metallic (sparkly) paint color. The gunmetal color of the ITR wheel is not highly metallic (sparkly). So they may claim that that's the color, but when you look at them side by side, they don't seem to match all that well.

Solaris Silver, OTOH, looks exactly like our gunmetal wheels. Put the Solaris Silver NSX wheel next to the gunmetal ITR wheel, and the finishes look identical.

Still, either will be close.

The information comes from the Acura parts computer itself, so I would assume that any error would have eventually been corrected in that system. I had my center caps professionally repainted using Kaiser Silver, and when I reinstalled them, they were indistinguishable from the rest of the wheels' factory finish. Since people have had success with both colors, I would agree that they are probably very similar in appearance though.
