might be RTC6454
According to Rimmers that is a front wing panel.
The vogue alloy wheels paint colours are Quick silver or Silver sparkle. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-SP...626924?hash=item4d6dae62ec:g:aMgAAOSwvktagcV6

I've just Googled RTC6454 & Rimmers come up with this:

Yes maybe, but if you put RTC6454 into Rimmers search it will not compute and shows a different part number and a wing panel. Add the VA and you get the paint. VA bit was omitted in post #2.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm really looking for the paint code as having the wheels re-furb'd soon & the guy doing the work needs to know the colour in advance as he is coming to me.
Alternatively I could have the wheels colour-coded to the body, but want to keep the car original. A trawl through the original sales literature I have seems to reveal that although colour-coded alloys were standard on the Vogue SE & grey on the Vogue customers buying the latter could specify the former as an optional extra. Going down this route could solve my problem as the paint code should be amongst the car's paperwork or on the slam panel?

Best check for the colour code now as LR went through a considerable period not bothering to put the colour code on despite there being a perfectly good area for it on the sticker on the slam panel.
Mine had a respray some time before I bought it & the wheels - 3 spoke - had had the centres incl the spokes painted but the rest silver.
I'll be having them redone at some point & will go for a full refurb - as in tyres off, blast etc but won't be doing it myself.
ETA Sparkle silver is MNH
Arken Grey is coded as LRC445 & LUQ. Same colour, different codes - a Rover/Land Rover thing!
I have a code for Quicksilver 2 which is MNS but can't find just Quicksilver

Thanks for that Ratae, my wheels are the same ie grey with the edges of the rims silver, which is how I want them re-done. Alloy re-furb. outlets seem to have a problem powder coating anything other than the entire wheel, but the originals were only enameled at the factory so that's the approach I'm taking.
nb: in answer to those who will say powder coating 'will last longer' I say maybe, but enamel will outlast me or at least my ownership of the car

That's interesting, alloy wheel re-furb. specialists seem to market the process as the holy grail of finishes, thank you for that info.
