Default XXR 521 Touch-up Paint??

Ok, not like I'm the first idiot out there that rashed their new wheels pulling too close to a curb...at least it was me this time and not my wife

I have XXR 521's in the flat or satin dark grey color. Anyone know of any options for touch up paint? Googled the heck out of this and had minimal to no luck. With all of the stretched tires on flush wheels rolling around right now, I know some of you feel my pain.

So far I don't. I maintain about a foot and a half barrier from myself and curbs at all times. Lol! I have, however, touched the fender to the lip a bit. But being powdercoated, the paint residue rubs off. So far, so good.

As far as the wheel goes, my best guess would be to take the car to a local paint supply store and see if they can match it. Otherwise, use a Sharpie.

Go to the auto parts store and buy some touch up paint, then mix it to match yourself it ain't that hard. Might take a little time to get the right match. Paint a piece of scrap first and let it dry then compare it with the color of your rims. You can tweak it from there. Paint sometimes dry a slightly different shade.
