Default Touch up paint to match wheel "hyper silver"

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience touching up the hyper silver color rims? I want to touch up some spots where the paint chipped off. I know it won't be perfect but want to have as close of a match as possible.


Thanks

You can go to an auto parts store and match it up with the closes color. Greys match pretty easily

Try Dr. Colorchip, I've heard good things about them.

got a pic?

go a to a nice automotive paint store and they will have a paint camera that they will take a pic of your wheel up close and it will find the right pigments to match perfectly.

OK I will see if I can find a place that does custom color near by.

On another topic ..would RX center caps fit on these GS wheels? I'm putting GS wheels on my RX
