Paint Color for Side "Vent" Touch-Up

Hello All,

Over the last year, the paint on the side "vent" feature has started to chip/wear away. I was wondering if anyone knew the color paint to touch this up. I can find touch-up pens for the actual vehicle itself, of course, but I have not been able to locate a document that states the shade of silver on the side.

Photo attached.

Thanks in advance!

The joys of living near the ocean. The salt air makes everything wear at a more rapid pace than normal. Also drive on sand semi-frequently, so that "helps" things along.

Another option is to pop the vent out and spray paint, I suppose. Judging from a couple of videos online, it seems as if the plastic will pop out pretty easily. CAR HISTORY

I have a Fuji white car and painted my side vents black which I think better suits the car

Touching up will leave uneven surfaces. Best bet is to strip right back and paint in order for a smooth even finish. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Or just buy a new set off eBay or similar

Standard silver ones are cheap enough and a very quick swap.

I've got a set of 'as new' silver ones lying around if anyone's interested for a few £s. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-
