Color match for silver alloy wheels?

[MiniBean]

Hi all,

I got my Mini Cooper 2 weeks ago and this past week I put a good 2 inch scrape on my 16" silver alloys

Has anybody found a good match for touch up paint for these particular wheels?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm too looking for such a touch up paint that will match the alloys. Mines are the 17" S-Spoke

I too have a scrape on one of my 17 silver rims. I went to the dealer and all they had was to match was a spray can. Very expensive but I bought it I have not as yet had the time to take the wheel off and mask everything and then spray the damaged area. I did do a test spray on a piece of metal and it does match.

tester's aluminum (model paint) is a mighty close match.

Testors is a model paint. Go to your local hobby store.

Cool got it... got the silver color.. and it matches quite well to the wheel color... at least to the 17" S-Spokes... theres no more black on the wheel but of course cant be good as new can still see the scratch at least not its not as noticable... *SIGH*
