I've never seen anything for wheels, but I guess you could ask. Wouldn't surprise me if they do offer something. Otherwise you're stuck with Würth wheel paint. Nothing comes any closer. -D > On Jul 31, 2017, at 8:56 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > Has

Has anyone tried to color match the paint on a rim? I've got a couple small blemishes on a nearly perfect rim that I'd like to fix. PainScratch.com sells Silver Metallic (Wheel) G8081 which they say is correct for all 1987 models. https://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/order-form.cgi Does anyone
