Does anyone know where to purchase rim touch up paint (GRAY) for the rims on a 2020 RDX ASPEC?

You can ask the dealer. You might get better answers in the RDX specific forum.

Probably the dealer but this is the wrong part of the forum, around here you'd get told to trade it in on a Jeep, Audi, or Vagon.

Moved to model specific forum.

Yup, this is now changed to Tesla forum.

Can't answer your question but if you find a source, let us know. I could use some touch-up for my Advance wheels (different color, of course). Thanks.

Been trying to find a touch up paint for my a-spec as well. Let us know if you find one!

For my Aspec, I tried Honda's "Modern Steel Metallic Touch-Up Paint Pen (.44 fl oz, Paint Code: NH797M)"
Too light... I then added a bit of black to make it more grey... Close enough, but I am still looking for the correct color.

I used the same. Good enough - better than the scrape color.

It may darken a little after it cures.

Used Acura touch up paint Greystone Pearl NH658P (recommended by dealer). Very good results.

the mix of "Modern Steel Metallic" and some black, at left, the Greystone Pearl NH658P at right. I think the mix is close, but the Greystone is too blue and dark.

Has anyone who is looking for this touch up paint called an auto paint manufacturer, or supplier?

EDIT: I just talked with my son who is a regional manager for Sherwin Williams He said SW has separate division for automotive paint, also to try PPG.

rdxny

yes, I had tried Paintscratch.com, they said:

"Wheel colors are not coded on the vehicle anywhere and often we do not have any wheel color chips. The best
bet is to go to a local auto body supply shop and see if they can determine the color code. Once we know the
color code, we can make the paint. There are no guarantees or refunds on wheel colors even if they do not
match. We will not remix these paints."

This doesn't look bad really, considering what you're trying to match.

The wheels have a sprayed metallic coating that creates a color based on three factors: a base color, randomly reflecting metallic flakes, and distance. Any daub of a single color (even metallic type) will look slightly different up close because you're not matching a single color. The idea is to get something that simulates the blended colors of the wheel when looking at a normal distance. How does this look standing a few feet away?

I think even the oem paint would look slightly different up close because it wouldn't be applied the same way.

Good luck!

maybe?

Anyone know if acura offers the touch up paint pen in a spray? I feel like the pen doesn't make it look too smooth.

Dereileak

nope

I scraped a rim on my ASpec too. I asked the local Acura service dept. for touchup paint and
they said there is no such animal.

The before and after are kind of hard to see, but thanks for the info. I might get a can and spray onto some paper to compare before using it. Thanks again.

Perfect; thanks for the close-up. Not a bad job. It's certainly a lot less noticeable than naked.
