Touchup paint for TL-S Wheels
 

Anybody done a touch up on the 2007 TL-S wheels. I nicked one and i'm trying to find a touchup paint that matches or gets real close.

i second that, just scraped the front left rim this morning :o( Any tricks or fixes would be appreciated.

If they are the same color as my 07 TL AT, then I may be able to help.

First off, I called my dealer and the service rep told me that they don't have an official touch-up paint for the wheels. Not even a manufacturing number for the paint.

So, I went to Autozone and through trial (and error), I found a very close match. NOT exact, but close.

Dupli-color Scratch Fix 2in1 – small canister
Starlight Sliver (made for Hondas)
Number: HA 00974

I also purchased the same brand but in Clear Coat to seal things up nice.

Here are pics of my before, during, and after DIY wheel fix. I used putty, different grades of sandpaper, primer, paint, and clear coat. Credit goes to an article online from a fellow named NASAracer. From 3 feet away, you can’t tell I ever messed up my wheel.

TL-S stock wheels are not the same color as TL wheels.

Kragen has a GM metalic dark gray that is 95% matching, I don't have any pics yet but I just did it over the weekend, and it was with the brush it came it, I sure it would look alot nicer if it was sprayed, hope this helps

Where did you buy the Kragen? Which color is it? Can you post a pic?

if you can wait til this weekend I'll get it for you, if your in the bay area I'll even help you

Thanks al.c, I am anxious to get the color details. I live in Metro Atlanta area....... will get my profile updated to reflect. I bet it is nice in San Francisco these days!

Just for clarification. We are talking about a 2007 or 2008 TL type S wheel.... Like that shown in my profile picture. I see that some are posting colors based on older and different color wheels.

yep that ther is them wheels on me acura, that's cali lingo for ya, I'm not sure how big of a file I can put but if you give me your e-mail I can send it to you, but I'll try here first.

here you go Dupli-color NG GM 396

how do you put pic?!!!!! send me you email and I send you pics

brinning to life instead of making new one.
first. isnt there two shades for TL-S wheels (i think 06 TL-S or 07 are lighter then 08 tl-s wheels?
second. what is color code or name for touch up paint?

Helpful thx

alabaster is not right color. looks like anthracite metalic is next try
color code NH643M

Tried that color. Way too dark:
Attachment 45650 Just tried a little as you can see and noticed how dark it was. Probably works well for the reproduction Type S waffle wheels, but not the factory ones.

Anyone know the correct color to get? As you can see mine are scratched up bad from the previous owner.

The Antracite Metallic color should match it pretty close. I bought a touchup pen from Acura and it matched mines pretty close. Because its not blended in, it is noticeable up close. But i rather have slightly mismatched paint than curb rash marks, just my opinion lol.

Just wondering if you ever got a color that worked? I think the Antracite looks way too dark as well, but the Kaiser silver looks kinda light? I haven’t been able to find out online what the other recommended color, GM 396, looks like….

I don't think our responded to the other guy but I have OEM wheels, Not reproduction. What I ended up doing was getting my OEM wheels completely refurbished and powdercoated. They used Kingsport Gray. They came out amazing. Slightly darker than OEM with sparkle.
