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.

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

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.

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.

Tried that color. Way too dark:
