Touch Up Paint For Alloy Wheels

[Exiled]

Need some touch up paint for the alloy wheels on my 59 250 Sel. They are 18" standard fit. Can anyone help?

I posted the same question some time back and got nil response

so, I managed to pick up a nifty touch-up stick from Halfords. It was the only silver they had so I couldn't be fusy about it being an exact match, but i've found it to be very good.

the other good thing about this product is that you can make applications not only by brush, but for any small chips there's a special thin 'nib' that allows microscopic touch-ups!

They call it 'colour pen & brush' and it has a code of 389460 or a barcode number of 5038 9469.

Hope this helps!

My car is silver, so i used the body touch up from lexus, not perfect, but good enough. For realy small marks i use a cocktail stick, which seems to work ok, honestly :) .

That's very helpful, I'll wait and see if anyone has a better suggestion and if not I'll give it a go. Mine's Caspian Sky so body touch up won't do, thanks.

I asked about minor repair / touch up and got the following.

Not got round to it yet and I kerbed one wheel on the other side last week :-(

There's a van advertising repairs near where I live also mentions kerb repairs so may just get the two front done properly.

Hi guys

a word of warning here.

Lexus Leeds wouldn't replace two of my pitted wheels under warranty because the previous owner had touched-up the wheels to make them look better instead of getting them replaced under warranty

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm forgot this bit.

I bought some refurbished wheels from Lexus Leeds which are a perfect match for new ones, If you ask your local dealer where they get refurbished wheels from surely they can supply paint or colour code.
