RDX A-Spec Wheel Touch up Paint

Hey all, new member here. Purchased a 2020 A-Spec about three weeks. Love it so far, coming from a midsized truck.

I curbed my wheel yesterday and am sick to my stomach. The first cut is the deepest, right? Anyway, I've seen some other threads regarding the paint code for these wheels.

I used Toyota 1E3 Phantom Grey Pearl with surprising results..


FML

Not too bad.

I am thinking of having the wheel refinished next Spring and purchasing a second set for Winter. But I know for certain it will happen again and I will keep chasing my tail.

Ouch curb rash hurts. Speaking from experience the 19 inch wheels on my Accord Touring had curb rash just getting near a curb. Usually $100 to repair good as new.

FWIW, Modern Steel Metallic touch up paint is reputed to be the closet match to the shark gray of the A-Spec wheels

Actually made an appointment for next week to have the wheel refinished. It will be $125 but the company comes right out to your location and refinishes the wheel. I will post results.

Just had my rim repaired today from some curb rash about a month ago. The mobile shop just repaired it and you can’t even tell it was ever there. Color match is perfect against all the other rims.


Before. All the way through the clear coat, paint, and primer and barely into the metal.

After! 4/5 o’clock position.

Perfection!
