FX50 21'' rims paint

Refer to pictures below. Is there a place I can get touch up paint or something for the OEM rims. Notice I have a knick on one and then scratched a little with the paint off in another rim and I would like to touch them up.

I asked the dealership if they had touch up stuff for the OEM rims like they do touch up paint for our exterior and they don't. They have a service where they repaint the whole rim like stock for $80-$115 each rim depending on how bad they need to resurface or something, but all I'm looking for is two little areas. The one knick is a deep knick and would probably require several coats in that knick unless the paint is thick.

Any recommendations on what you guys do for these types of scenarios? There's got to be a place I can get the OEM thick paint for these right?

That sucks! My rim repair guy never has to repaint the whole rim. That's bullshit!


I had rims repaired on my other car and they just sanded the little area that was curbed from the sidewalk and painted then blended it. The rim looked perfect! There is no need to refinish the whole rim for one tiny nick. Plus it won't match trust me. One will always look slightly darker than the other doing it that way.

What rim guy? From the dealer or is it someone outside from the dealer and how much did you pay? I guess I'm better off taking it to some rim shop then and just having them fix those two knicks.

What about just touching up myself? I just don't want it noticeable when standing a few feet from the car because you can when the car is clean and shiny!

I paid $125 for my rim guy to fix the rim on my other car. He was a mobile rim repair shop so he came to my house to do it in my driveway. Took about half an hour.


I don't know about touching it up though. It might blob up and look worse. Plus there really is no specific color code I think. Most rim repair guys use some book that has the colors in it and match it to the rim.
