Platinum Satin Touch up paint

I understand that Porsche does not make a touch up paint for the Platinum Satin finish on the Carrera S wheels. I've looked and looked online and cannot find any "exact" match. Has anyone found an aftermarket product that closely matches?

Find a good wheel refinisher- I'm sure there's at least one in Houston. Ask nicely at a non-Porsche high-line dealership service department...they all use these guys regularly. Good wheel finishers are amazingly good at making cosmetic horrors go completely away. Note: COSMETIC only. Matching a factory/aftermarket finish is one of the more valuable skills they possess. Ask around, find a good one, and they'll solve your problem and not charge a fortune.
Good luck.


P.S. Most are truck/van mounted, and will come to you.

P.P.S.
I said "service department"---meant Used Car Manager, or Detailing Dept. Sorry.

That is good advice and I give it myself all the time . I use a guy that does all the make ready for used cars at a couple of BMW dealerships. He does great work.

This very small blemish is not worth redoing the whole wheel so just wanted to touch it up myself a little. Just being a little OCD. I have no doubt that eventually I will need to have the wheel refinished but just wanted something to tide me over. Very interesting that nobody seems to have this paint. Thanks for the response.
