Please help - have curb rash on MM Cup 3S wheels (bought from TireRack). What paint matches this

finish? It is much brighter silver than OEM Avus type (Wurth paint). Can't get over the awful sound of just a small curb scrape. :-(

Thanks to anyone that can provide any helpful info!

BTW, if TireRack sells this paint, I will GLADLY pay / order some. It's just that I called a little

while ago and the rep I spoke to said that MM doesn't publish the color match information so I would have to try and match on my own.

Re: Please help -

I had the same problem this summer. I have OE rs4 replicas with similar bright paint. Had to eventually order new wheel.

Unfortunately this color is not available in a touch up since it is a multistep paint process

Best bet is to try to find a relatively close match at some of the local auto parts stores. The paint that they sell to touch up chips comes in a variety of silver colors that don't look *too* bad.
