Cheers Craig Mine are gloss black and get small paint chips on the spokes from grit. I got a Halfrauds gloss black touch up stick. Suppose silver is a little more tricky to match. If they’re original factory paint wheels maybe wheels have a paint code? Worth asking the opc. You might be able to order a Porsche touch up pen that would match or find a paint that would from third party? No idea if poss but worth asking.

Mavrik Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Powder Coating as a refurb is the way to go imo. These guys do a top job in my area... Lots of guys on the Fireblade forum use them for wheel refurbs (cars or bikes) http://www.metal-finishing-uk.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKR_77 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Porsche don’t provide a factory paint code for their wheels, or at least my local OPC wouldn’t. Touching up wheels that have started to blister is only a temporary measure, it means you’ve got moisture under the paint. The touch up will likely fall off again after a while. Have the wheel properly painted to match the factory finish of your other wheels. This provides a better finish than powder coating which never looks as good as paint.

Powder coating imo is far superior in durability terms than the best 2k paint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobdayd Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I have just resprayed my 2 rear wheels using Wurth primer / base coat airosole can, Porsche Artic Silver (same as car) can and Wurth clear coat can. 1 can of primer per wheel and 1/2 can of top coat and clear coat. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wurth-German-Alloy-Silver-Wheel-Paint-Refurb-Kit-3-Cans/273107437458?epid=1545412246&hash=item3f9678c792:g:170AAMXQ-BZQ-9gC https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PORSCHE-400ml-Car-Paint-Aerosol-ARKTISSILBER-92T-92U/221131938776?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Worked really well. No runs, bubbling etc... I used wet and dry to sand first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
