Rim curb rash repair color

Anybody try a fix yet to match the stock silver alloy rims, only thing I could find for a quick touch up was this but not sure if the color is close enough. I would probably try part number HWP101 Silver

Let us know how the HWP101 works out. I tried Duplicolor DSFM226 - too much grey. And T191 Ultra Silver - Not shiny enough to match the OEM color.

Spot painting did not match at all. I ended up painting the entire rim. It looks decent if you don't look too close. The rim color does not match the center cap color.

I'm beginning to think that "anodized" silver paint might match the OEM color better.

ok got the numbers on a really close match, This is actually for a body color of the 2005TL ...Satin Silver Metallic 08703-NH623MAA-pn .. Its needs to be just a hair more lighter silver as it goes on a little more blue than the rim but not by much. After it drys it looked a little closer and after applying a 2nd coat I can live with the results. I did sand lightly to flaten the gouged parts of the "rash". You cant really tell now unless you get right up on it and look very close. Depending on how bad yours is you can fill the gouge with some bondo, sand it flat then paint it.
