There is a Wurth Silver paint that matches Porsches rims.

Has anybody found a similar silver paint to match stock 17" rims on a GS400?

Unfortunately, the only paint that will actually hold up well for the long haul on wheels would be normal car paint with a clear coat, and even that would require normal maintenance, as brake dust is VERY aggressive at etching into virtually any finish.

You would also require a good primer base with a catalyzed primer, not the cheap water based stuff.

That would of course be followed up with whatever base coat, and then clear. Actual car paint is also catalyzed, nothing you could get at your local Pep Boys, and requires very specialized equipment to apply properly. EPA regulations also don't really allow for you to be painting the stuff in your garage!!!

Eastwood has some nice DIY paints for wheels, but those are intended more for show cars or hobby cars that aren't driven very often and are never allowed to get dirty for any length of time.

Thanks for the info. Was looking for the paint to attempt this on the GS.
