wheel paint

Anyone had any success touching up paint on your alloys? Mine are the OEM 19's (2008). I haven't scuffed them but there are some streaks from a previous repair showing through just where the rim meets the tyre - so fairly minor. I feel that if I could match the colour it would be straightforward to fix. Thanks

They're brushed/polished metal which is clear coated, so I don't think there is anyway to really touch them up. If the damage is just the clear coat and not into the metal, you may be able to wetsand the clear coat and polish it.
