I scratched my rim up on a curb a while back and recently stumbled across what looks like a relatively easy how-to as far as filling in the scratches and repairing it. What I wanted to know now is if there's a paint # for the 3rd generation protege rims and if not if anyone knows a color that'll closely match it. Thanks a lot for the help.

I think your rims are powder coated so it will never be the same. What you need to do is just find a color that closly resembles it.
Or just deal with it. Everyone scratches there rims sometimes.Comment

grind it down, use some epoxy, and just touch it up.According to my Anger Management Counselor, after 26 weeks of anger management class, I should be an expert when it comes to Anger Management...tell that to the guy who threw a starburst at my car in rush hour traffic...haha

That's basically the plan, just trying to figure out if there was a paint # or if I would have to match it best I could02' Protege ES sedan w/ 03 refresh package, loaded with everything minus sunroof, 5 speed manual, red neons under seats to match red lighting on guage cluster/center consol *you can't hug children with nuclear arms*Comment

just have to guess. with it being metallic it will not be that hard to tell the differece in different shades, so just get it as close as possible and you should be ok.According to my Anger Management Counselor, after 26 weeks of anger management class, I should be an expert when it comes to Anger Management...tell that to the guy who threw a starburst at my car in rush hour traffic...haha
