Dodge Satin Silver Metallic (Wheel Color) (XZA-W) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This is the industrial soul of the Dodge lineup. While the rest of the car wears high-impact paint, the wheels rely on this specific silver to ground the design. It provided a technical, clean finish for the high-performance Viper and a rugged, metallic backbone for the wheels on the Dakota and Durango. It isn't a mirror-like chrome, but a sophisticated silver that manages to hide road grime and brake dust while still offering a sharp, factory-fresh glow in the sun. If your Aspen or Ram wheels have seen better days, this color is what restores that balanced, professional stance.

Technical Details

You are working with a metallic finish, which means the paint is packed with tiny flakes designed to catch the light. The challenge with any metallic is mottling-the tendency for those flakes to bunch up into dark spots or uneven streaks. If the flakes don't lay down flat, the silver will look patchy instead of smooth. This matters because wheel surfaces have complex curves and recesses where paint likes to pool. A heavy hand will ruin the effect, so you need a light touch to ensure the metallic particles stay suspended in an even, uniform layer.

Best Practices

Before you apply Dodge Satin Silver Metallic (Wheel Color) (check for code XZA-W), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds. Those metallic flakes are heavy and sink to the bottom quickly. You can find your paint code on the manufacturing sticker located on the driver's side door jamb, usually right next to the PNT label. Test the color on the included card to get a feel for how the flakes fall. When you move to the wheel, keep the container moving at a steady pace to avoid buildup in the lug nut holes or along the rim edge. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers to let the finish set properly in the shade of your garage.
