Silver Touch Up Paint For Wheels/Rims??

ggoat!!! · #1 (**permalink**) 04-10-2010, 12:22 AM

Hi there...

I have an '02 Snap Orange Beetle with Take5 rims.

A couple of my rims have a few tiny little dings in them from rocks.

Does anyone know of a matching silver touch-up paint for these rims? I was wondering if anyone knew the name and manufacturer of a close replacement or hopefully an exact part number from Volkswagen for the touch-up paint.

Thanks!
Jeff

A few years ago I used VW Silver Arrow in a brush-on bottle and it was very close.

Oo that would have been nice to know earlier *lol*

But I'm going to remove my inserts from my Take 5s, sand them down, and do a custom paint job on the rims themselves

So there's no actual VW part number or code for the wheel paint?

The matching paint I've heard about is Wurth Silver Wheel Lacquer which has a corresponding clearcoat...but I've never actually tried it. When I do get around to touching up my wheels however, this will be the product I start with.

Good luck,
Matt
