Default Repair on 5-Spoke Factory Sport Wheels - Wurth Silver or 1Z Silver Paint?

Searched the archive and read some reports of the Wurth no longer matching factory wheels.

So if anybody has done a rim repair lately(ala NSAS or LI-S4 style), did they find this to be true or perhaps used the 1Z (which is supposed to be an excellent match now)?

Default I used Motip Argento..

In the UK I couldn't source the Wurth Silver but I assumed that was a local thing. so I used a "Tuning Line" product from MoTIP www.motipdupli.com. I went for the ARGENTO colour, but there is a choice. Also note I have Pacinos not 5 star but still Audi OE. I had so many little knocks I sprayed the whole wheel. But I'm happy with the match. Sorry no pics because we've a hose pipe ban here so I can't wash the car... imagine that in certain parts of Florida, Pennsylvania & Canada - there'd be a riot!

Default From my understanding, Wurth Silver and 1Z Silver Paint are the same...

you may also want to check Duplicolor's Radiant Silver.

Read Wurth changed manufacturers... no match now, that's why Pelican Parts dropped it for 1Z
