Anyone know what information I need to get some touch up paint made up in the same colour as my wheels?

Thanks

you will need to know the colour name & code to get an exact match.
not sure if you will get that info from suzuki as the wheels will have been powder coated & probably not originally done by suzuki.

if you go to a good auto refinish shop they will have colour chips that you could take a look at & put up against your wheels to see which is closest. then they will be supply you with a touch up, but you are unlikely to get less than 500ml, which would be enough to totally re-paint both wheels

Thanks Alan...

So I definitely should be able to get the a colour code from a manufacturer released colour (not been resprayed)?

Wonder what the best way of getting that information is?

If they are standard Suzuki silver wheels then Hammerite(smoothrite) silver is a pretty good match.

Or get them powder coated here: http://www.triple-s.co.uk/

Maybe that is a bit extreme!
