ZL1 wheel paint code

As title, does anyone know the actual paint code for the colour on the ZL1 wheels? I have a friend who has scuffed one and needs to repair it. Thanks guys...

I believe the color is called "After Midnight" or something like that.

I talked to Adam Barry (the lead designer of the ZL1 wheel) about it at Camaro Fest. I remember him saying that it's one of GM's most expensive paints.

See if Mr. Wyndham will ask Adam for the paint code. I'm sure Adam would be happy to get it for us.

Is that the name of the paint color or just the description of the color? If you look at the other wheel color descriptions, I doubt the black is just called ‘matte black’ or silver ‘bright silver’.

I would be interested to know the paint color name as well if dark graphite is not it. I’m thinking of painting my MMR wheels that color.

I'm 99.99% sure the paint color is called After Midnight. Of course that might just be an internal name or something, but it's what the guy who designed the wheel calls that color.

I texted the paint color name to myself right after Adam told me.

(At the time I was talking to him about painting the center stripe to match the wheels.)

This is the brochure/ information issued to dealer from Chevrolet in showroom that is all I know.

Bump - does anyone have a verifiable source for touch-up paint / pen for these wheels?

Anyone have a paint code? I can find lots of "graphite" touch-up products, but not specific GM/Chevrolet "dark graphite" - any help would be appreciated. Have a couple rock dings in the wheels that I want to address.
