I was lucky enough to score some '13 machined Raptor wheels a few months ago for my '12 XLT. I think they really set my truck off.
I have one spot on the painted section where I have a small stone chip. I'd like to repair that. Does anyone know the color code and name of the paint? I'm thinking Tuxedo black, but it almost appears to be a sort of grey shade.

No, they actually have some metallic in them, that's why I thought Tuxedo black.Thanks for the reply.

Ok, it's been a few years since I've had a set of stock wheels around. Wouldn't hurt to pick up a touch up pen for tuxedo black from your dealer and give it a shot then.

Ya, I'll run that by them the next time I'm there. Never thought of asking them, oh ***** me! LOL

FYI - a lot of auto parts stores have touch-up paint that matches pretty well. Probably be half the price of the stealership. Be worth testing something cheaper......

Do you guys agree it's Tuxedo black?

They're cheap especially if you buy them from and auto parts store vs dealer, I'd just buy a couple black metallic ones and see which one matches best. Test them out on a soda can or something so you'll get similar aluminum base metal to paint on to give you the best comparison of what it'll look like on the wheel.
