Are the Stock ITR Wheels powder coated or painted or What?
Anyone know the Gunmental color code?

I don't know what process Honda uses. But the color of the wheels is off an NSX. I forgot what the name was. I think it was something Graphite. Sorry I'm not much help. It has been covered somewhere in the archives.

It's Kaiser Silver from the 1997 NSX.

Not exactly. The closest match for the gunmetal color of the '00-01 ITR wheels is Solaris Silver, code NH-536M, which is the color used for the wheels of the 1994-96 NSX. Yes, you can get touch-up paint in this color from your dealer.

(The wheels are painted.)

So Not exactly means I will not find the exact color? So HN-536M is close, is it a shade darker or lighter?

So the wheels are painted and clear coated?

Thanks

No. "Not exactly" is a reference to the previous post above mine. It is "not exactly" Kaiser Silver. It is "exactly" Solaris Silver.

will the touch-up paint (Solaris Silver) withstand the high heat the wheels sustain from the brakes?

I've only used it on my street wheels and only on the lip (although I've tracked them a few times with no problems). I don't bother touching up my track wheels. Anyone else know?
