Wheel Touch-up Paint

Can anyone tell me where I can find touch-up paint for my wheels. I have a 2015 MINI Cooper S hardtop. The wheels are standard stock (no upgrade).

Thanks

Not sure if Mini (or BMW) offers a wheel paint touch up. I'd check w/ a local automotive shop and see if you can find a match from their touch up paint inventory.

Thinking you can probably find a silver that will closely match your wheels and will look okay unless someone gets down and looks closely.

Another option, if the damage you are trying to fix is right on the rim, they sell a plastic protector snap on in different colors that not only cover and protect the rim edge, it can add a bit of color accent to the wheels.

There are a couple of members that have used them w/ nice results.

Here's a link to one on Ebay. There are others:

The silver sharper sounds like a great idea, I will give it a try. They are just small chips, color does not need to be exact.

Thanks

A54 is 'wheel bright silver metallic' according to the Sherwin William Automotive database
{code is specific to wheels}

you can order from www.automotivetouchup.com

SW formula: 79742

note that painted wheels are base/clear just like the body so the color needs to be topped with clear.
