Anyone know the paint code to use for small touchups to the wheels?
The paint code for Mazda Shadow Chrome is WP-24-00-246.

How would the OP go about getting a touch up pen for that in that exactly colour with that code, save for going to a proper paint place and asking them to mix one up?

Indeed, not finding a source other that £52+ (+VAT) to get a litre!
A close’ish match would do. This is about camouflaging any damage and hopefully delaying any resulting corrosion before, eventually, I’d them them refirbed.
And that’s a spray too, I think. Hard to use when just touching up a ‘dot’ or something very small.
Just to say, Shadow Chrome is an effect. Not a finish/colour in a bottle.
It’s a shade of silver over black primer, to achieve the finish.
Sure. So what colour in a bottle would be a nearish match for spot touchup?
It will depend on how the wheel surface has been damaged. As to what will need to be put back onto the area as a touch up.
Have you got a photo of the damage?

How about if he/she just wants to touch up a small stone chip
X amount of posts on and, in reality, it seems no one got an answer for the OP, really.
If it’s not down to the metal and black is visible as a base layer, I’d try some standard silver touch-up.
If you can see the base metal of the wheel, you’d need to build up with a grey or black primer (this is one area where different shadow chrome finishes will differ). Then try some silver touch-up once that’s dried.
Alternatively, if you haven’t got any stock of primers or silver touch up from other cars, I might try this combo pack for BMW’s shadow chrome finish which includes a primer, paint and lacquer:

Yes, that BMW one got to be worth a punt, given it’s cheap. And those shadow chrome BMW ones are in the same colour ballpark.
Good find.
Why I’m commenting though I don’t know, as I haven’t got the shadow chrome alloys lol
