Curb rash "touch up paint" ???

So I let the wife take my tl to work and when she got back she told me she had curb my rear passenger wheel. My wheels are bronze gold from the factory.

Is there any place that can color match the wheel and give me touch up paint till i can get the wheel fixed?

I called the wheel manufacturer but they dont have touch up paint and they powder coat their wheels.

Its not a big curb mark but its there.

Im located in Long Beach, CA

Thanks!!

A good paint shop should be able to put some in a rattle can, canister, or pen for you...but you need the paint code. The manufacturer couldn't supply you with the code, or even the name of the color? If you can't find the paint code, bring a wheel to a reputable place and perhaps they can match it for you.

No they couldnt because they powder coat the wheels. Dude said there is no paint code for it...

Yea there is a code. Either he isn't privy to that information or he didn't care enough to chase down the answer for you. I'd call back and talk to someone more interested in helping you, maybe the manager.


If you go the matching route, good luck I hope you find it!
