my wife recently inherited a 2006 crossfire roadster with the charcoal and vanilla interior. the steering is vanilla colored and has a couple of chips on it where the vanilla color is missing. can anyone please tell me what touchup paint color i can use to repair these spots.

Not sure you can PAINT the wheel. Mine is discolored a bit, but at 77,000 miles what do I expect?

the car used to belong to my wifes father. he was never well enough to drive it. it has 799 miles on it, a hunk of which i put on it in order to generate computer data for emission testing. the nicks came from using the club antitheft device too tightly attached to the steering wheel. sure looks as though a little paint on the hub would do the trick.believe it or not those nicks are the only marks on the entire car after washing and polishing it.

I think Woody suggested taking cars, with worn or damaged steering wheels, to car dealerships. They have people that restore and detail things like that.

we plan on keeping it. my wife usually buys her fathers used convertibles from him when he buys a new one. this is the third chrysler convertible she has gotten from her father. the other two were lebarons. a 1992 which we recently sold and an 1995 GTC with 9000 miles on it that we also keep stored.

Checking the Chrysler paint codes, they do not list a Vanilla color for the interior. The only colors they list are Medium Slate or Dark Slate. Might have to go to a repair shop to see if they can match it. ZH is the car code for the Crossfire.

Good luck - and welcome to the forum

The Vanilla trim color is available for the Crossfire Roadsters only. The trim color code is WN for Vanilla, part number 68187.
