I knew this would happen 1 day, the left front wheel got a small scratch on the side of the rim already. There's no touchup paint from dealer on this.

Anyone have any other suggestions? Sharpie doesn't make that color I think.

 

On occasion I’ve used nail polish, it comes in a variety of colors and I’m sure you can find a close match.
Clean the area you want to touch up with alcohol
and apply nail polish.
Sometimes it lasts, if not I redo.

 

Thanks for the suggestion but my case is different.

It's on the dark gray paint finish. Lexus doesn't have wheel touchup paint. I'm not sure it's cloudburst gray or not.

 

Yeah, that is so ugly! I can’t imagine driving with that down the road and knowing everyone will see that scratch on the wheel going 25MPH+. If that was mine, I would buy a new wheel or trade in the car for a new one.
Totally unacceptable, don’t want my friends to notice that! That’s like a lighted neon sign flashing with every revolution…..
Man, I feel for you!! Better keep that vehicle in the garage until it’s fixed!!

 

lol, touch up will make it look better.

 

Back to the nail polish...

 

Nail polish was clear color, not seeing it would work.

 

Please READ post # 2
Ask your wife, SO, or GF, they probably could help you.

 

Thank you!

 

Again, the color on the wheel is dark gray. The nail polish a total different color. Don't see it as a solution.

 

Do you realize how MANY different shades of gray and silver nail polishes there are?!

Literally TONS. Just have to find them. Amazon, online, Dollar store, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Rite Aid, etc.

If you can't be bothered, then just go to a reputable local auto paint shop with your car to see if they can color match your wheels.

Or call your reputable local auto body place and ask who they use or recommend when needing to get a paint color matched

Good Luck!!

 

I answered my own question. Matches almost perfectly with the CloudBurst Gray.
