    I'm sure that this has been discussed before but does anyone know the color for touch up paint for the stock rims? I have a few minor chips that I would like to touch up.

    Just make sure you do a test before touching up the wheels, as it's possible someone painted the wheels before you bought the car and the factory-correct color might not match perfectly.

    Pretty sure my wheels have been painted twice now!

    Hey Peter, did you ever find the DYI thread? I found the repainting rims white one but not the color for the 355 magnesium wheels.

    Don't use the recommended GM color. I forgot the code. It's not even a close match.

    I used the silver GM touch paint pen from Duplicolor. It is a little darker than the wheels but looks miles better than the chips left by the tire installer. Not a final solution but I no longer notice the chips unless I look for them.

    I believe Bradan uses the Ferrari Stock Argento (Nurburgring) paint color on oem wheels.

    Add shows the touch up pen for $14.95. Add $10 for rim paint? Is the rim paint something different or is it simply more paint for the entire rim?

    Rim paint looks like an aerosol spray.
