I got some road rash on one of my 18" Foreshadow Painted Aluminum Wheels (ugh)! My own fault. But does anyone know what tough-up paint will match these? I thought is was the same as my Granite Crystal (Grey) van color, but it's actually a shade darker. I searched this site, but saw no definitive answere. Any help would be appreciated – thanks all! (photo for example - same wheels as mine)

Thanks Daniel, that indeed was the post I found and read through as well. But there was no specific color given for the Foreshadow (Dark Grey) color. That's what I'm hoping to find out.

It "should" be:

PA7

Satin Gloss Granite Crystal

68414455AA

Auto zone has pain pen wheel markers that will touch up the rim , you won’t get exact due to processes to manufacture the rims but you’ll get close enough

If I just gave the actual factory paint color code/touch up paint, WHY would you suggest a generic paint instead? 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Because even a paint code won’t replicate the actual wheel colour. Any colour , no matter what , once not the normal process can never be duplicated , hence why body shops have to blow in areas .

I used “PDR” coded touch up paint by Duplicolor. Excellent match.
It was mentioned in the link.

I work in a print shop and we mix ink not paint all the time. We have a device that measures color. It is never an exact match we consider measurement with an L*a*b ΔE of 2 is acceptable. Anything higher and you can really notice a difference.

Great. Thanks for confirmation on that – very helpful!

True, but the Mopar paint will be the best available match

Dealer said wheel paints were not available!!!

Assuming @snobrdrdan's post above with the part number is correct, why not just order it from somewhere like one of these, which say they have it in stock?:

Hmm, because the Duplicolor paint I got much cheaper matched great???

Hi...Unfortunately, I just curbed the rims of my 2021 Pacifica with the S appearance package.
I just tried the Dupli-Color Graphite Metallic (PDR) and it doesn't match as close as I would like. Too much metallic and not quite dark enough.
Hoping there is a color that is a closer match.

See post #4, again

Thanks. I noticed in post #4 it says it "should be", did you use it on your foreshadow wheels for a 2021 Pacifica?
My Foreshadow wheels are almost black. Below is the image of the one you recommend. The color looks lighter than my wheels.
Just want to be sure this color has been used by someone on their Foreshadow wheels. At $20 a try, this is getting expensive and closer to the price of a new wheel.

I did not....I sold my Foreshadow 18" S Package wheels actually.
I can't remember where I found that Chrysler said that they were "satin gloss granite" though....but I did find it before when I was selling my wheels/tires.

That said....they're NOT black & that color looks correct:
