Body paint and wheel paint questions.
Where can I buy touch up paint and where can I find paint code on my Beetle.
Another question is: Where can I find paint for stock rims, what would be paint code for it, and did anybody fix them(paint them) before? That's the rim I'm talking about:

Call a body shop, they could tell you the paint code, if you ask them nicely. In regards to painting rims, I have no idea...

The paint code will be on a sticker on the floor of the trunk (that is, behind the rear seat) under the carpet. There are websites that will tell you the name of the color based on the code. Body shops and paint stores will use that code to mix up the correct color. They can also tell you what kind of paint is best for the wheels to keep looking good for years. Unless you've got all the equipment, it would probably be best to have a shop do the job.

Can You buy touch up paint at stealership, or online?
