Scuffed one of my rims up on a curb this morning and would like to touch it up.
Anyone here ever order touch paint for them and if so, from where?
Alternatively, anyone here know the paint code or has the wheels off the car so they can take a peek at the rim to see if, as googling suggests, the code is printed somewhere on the barrel or inside the rim?
I have been doing some online searches without success so any help would be appreciated.
 
Following. I looked and haven't found anything but forgot to make a thread so thank you. F'ing curbs... or mindless driver (me).

Funny you should say that.
I backed into a spot with a curb on the passenger side before visiting my sister.
I noted the curb when I stepped out of my car and I thought:
Don't forget to exit in a wide arc when you turn out to leave that spot.
I visit my sister.
I leave.
I forget about the curb until: scrrrrrrape... damage done!
Damn!
 
Hey, no joke, Sharpie's metallic gold is an almost perfect color match. LINK. If you ground to bare aluminum you may need to use a black Sharpie as a basecoat first.

If it's a large scuff/scratch you could also have the wheel refinished which should be ~$100-150/wheel.

I'm still looking for a carbon fiber + clear Sharpie that works well on splitter scratches.. 🤣
 
I actually tried that metallic gold Sharpie trick on my tech bronze wheels and it works surprisingly well for small scuffs - just make sure to clean the area really good first.

This is so awesome thank you
 
Try Touch Up Direct. They had a touch up kit for my black satin wheels (paint code WA784U) which worked really well on small nick I had on one of my wheels.


I went with the Preferred Kit that has a base coat, color coat and clear coat.

I couldn't find the color code for Tech Bronze either which definitely help in finding the right match. A search of Touch Up Direct's site turned up this though doesn't say "tech" bronze:


You can probably contact them to see if that's the right match.
 
I decided to use Gemini to search for the paint code which came up with WA163D. Touch Up Direct indicates that this was used on 2000-2003 Chevys. Looking thru the references that Gemini used, none of them outrightly state WA163D, so probably best to confirm with Touch Up Direct customer service.
