Is there such a thing as factory matched touch-up paint for any of our OEM wheels?

Well I dont know anything about the factory doing it, but I'm sure you could go somewhere and get it done. The guy around the corner from me has a yellow Boxster with matching rims.

No no...I don't want my wheels to match my car...I'm wondering IF there is a factory paint that I can buy to touch up scratches to my wheels....I would think that other people would be interested in this, but I guess it's just me....

Same here, Chitown_COOP.

I tried to paint over some of my S-lite wheel scratches with silver touch-up paint
but it does not look right.

Wheel paint is a different type of paint than the paint that goes on your car. You can purchase a product called: SEM in a spray can from your local PPG, Dupont or Sherwin-Williams automotive paint supplier. SEM is used to for all the flexible parts of your car, such as moldings and wheels.
