Picked up a damn stone chip on one of my alloys (annoyingly during the endless journies to/from the dealer for warranty repairs!) and not sure what colour black it is that I need to ask for. It is the gloss black they apply to the 'black wheel' optional extra available and presumably the same colour as found on the rear spoiler and wing mirrors of my Cayman R?

Any ideas guys? Hoping the dealer will fix it given it has happened in their posession, or between journey's to/from them, but checking just in case?

Wonder if repair would be covered under warranty anyway, surely the wheel shouldn't be so easily subjected to a fairly substantial stone chip?!?!

Can't really help with colour - mine were done by my OPC and not the factory..
Could be flat black or Basalt.

Wrt the chipped wheel - cant see how it would be a warranty claim.
Roads have stones on them, which chip paint.

You sure it didn't happen when it was driven around the track wink

In the interests of completeness (and to help anyone searching), I'm told the colour is Schwarz Black (a base black) used on the wheels. OPC Wilmslow are kindly posting me a touch up pen foc so will confirm the code when I have it.
