Default Y-Spoke Touchup Paint

I curb scratched my Y-Spoke rims the other day (much to my extreme chagrin). It looks as if some touch up paint would really improve those areas. Does anyone know of a good matching color for these rims? I think that the A5 rims are all the same paint color (I think), and I've looked around but I cant find any suggestions. Something in the duplicolor line would be fine by me.

Thanks in advance for any input-

Joe

Usually a good wheel repair guy can refinish them no problem. Check the phonebook or contact your dealer and ask who they use for reconditioning their used cars. Common thing so don't worry.

Most if not all German cars use Wurth alloy wheel paint. It is available online. Google "Wurth wheel paint." I have successfully used Duplicolor Nissan # KY1 to touch up a realy small chip on my wheels (A4) and it looks fine - FWIW

Default me too!

i did the same thing! what did you end up doing for the fix? i actually have free time these days and think i could do a very good job on this repair myself...but not without the right paint. the color of these wheels is darker than the usual silver alloy wheels so i certainly dont want to get the paint that most european silver alloy wheels use. does anyone have any insights?
