Default Black wheel touch up paint code?

I did a search, but nothing turned up for the gloss black wheel touch up paint. They are not satin, not regular black, and not basalt.

For some reason the stock wheels chip like crazy! I've never had a car with so many rock chips on the wheels! Especially if you factor in the low miles on my wheels!!

I had the same question but for the satin black wheels, someone recommended something but does not appear it was a Porsche paint though.

If you search on here hard enough, there's other threads on GT3 rock chips on the wheels. Somewhere, somebody posted that the airflow around these wheels is different on GT3s than say, standard Carreras. For sure the body rides lower so technically the airflow is different from the ground and around the car. The air velocity around the sides of the car could be higher compared to a C2.

My car has the satin black wheels with guards red stripe. They look great in the light, but they do get chips. Folks with the platinum wheels can hide it a little better.

I've not seen the correct code for the touch up paint...somewhere somebody mentioned Plastidip (?) but not sure how that would look.

It passes the 10ft rule. Other solution is don't wash the wheels and let the brake dust cover the chips.

Lol - you can't see it and it works a treat (used this on both gloss and matte wheels)

LOL, not only does a sharpie not last, it doesn't match (already tried).

Since I have PCCB's, it's going to take a very long time for the brake dust to cover the chips.

I found this online, lots of choices.
https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorco...page=6&rows=50
An this
https://touchupdirect.com/touch-up-p.../#pf-year=2016

General Porsche Black codes are
Black code is 1E0. Primer coating is G2X. Carbon Gloss Black is A3G. If you are asking about wheels, then JE1 is Black Mat, 041 is Black, C9X is Jet Black Metallic

I'm going to order Black, 741/A1 747/A1 041 and see how it looks.
