Tesla Wheel Grey (900) Touch Up Paint

The Look

You are restoring the sharp, industrial edge that defines the modern Tesla aesthetic. This charcoal shade is the standard for the 2024 fleet, providing a deep, aggressive stance for your Model 3, Model S, Model X, or Model Y. It serves a practical purpose too, as the dark pigment is excellent at hiding brake dust while the metallic shimmer keeps the wheels from looking flat or dull in the daylight.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny flakes designed to catch the light and add depth. Metallics require a steady hand because those flakes can clump together if the paint is applied too thick. This leads to mottling, or dark cloudy patches, which ruins the uniform look of the wheel. To avoid this, apply the paint in light, even layers to ensure the metallic particles lay flat and reflect light consistently across the entire surface.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Tesla Wheel Grey (check for code 900), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to mix those metallic flakes. You can find your specific paint code on the certification label inside the driver's side door jamb, or check the 'Software' menu on your center screen for vehicle information. Test the color on the included card to get a feel for the nozzle or brush before moving to the wheel. Work in a cool garage or the shade to prevent the paint from drying too fast. Keep the container moving at all times to avoid drips, and give each layer enough drying time before applying the next.
