Default 19" wheel touch up paint source?

Where can I get some touchup paint for my few chips/rash on 2013 981 19" silver wheels?

I got a paint shop to color match my 986 wheels and give me the smallest quantity and it was remarkably affordable don't recall the exact price maybe $25, might want to check into that.

These guys can repair wheel rash and perfectly match paint. At least here in PA, the Philadelphia area franchise comes to your home, and does the repair and repaint for $75 per wheel. Their work is undetectable. I have used them for my x3 with great results. They have outlets in many states including Georgia. Good luck!

+1 on local alloy wheel repair shops. I meet my guy at one of the local car dealerships where he sets up shop in the trailer workshop he pulls behind his truck. Their work is impeccable.

Nope. Sanded down and repainted. The match was perfect.

As noted, they did two of my x3 19" wheels with similar rash - perfect result. I'd use Alloy Wheel Repair again in a heartbeat.
