Default Touch up paint

The unfortunate had happened. Wife got a curb rash on the FSport wheels. I called the dealer and they do not carry touch up paint for it. Any idea where I can find one to match the wheels? Thanks.

There is a multitude of information on curb rash repair on the internet. Just google it. If money is not an issue, take it to an auto detail professional.

I used the Nebula Grey Lexus touchup paint and it worked really well. I can hardly see any of the many curb rashes.

There's wheel/rim shops that repair road rash for around $115 per wheel. I've had my wife's rx done a few times through the years. Since I knew this could be a problem I purchased the wheel protection through Lexus, and it paid for itself.

I too bought the wheel protection plan for my wife's Q3 because I knew the low profile tires on that model would be no match for curbs.

It worked great, and we saved hundreds of dollars on repair costs. I would just call the wheel repair shop and they would send out a mobile unit within a day or two and have it repaired to look like new in under 2 hours.

Seems like the curbs would have to be pretty high to come in contact with my RX wheels, but at least I know how to get them repaired if it's needed.
