Paint to sample wheel touch up?
Wondering if anyone has any sources for somewhere that might make a one-off paint to sample touch up. Specifically Volk matte blue gunmetal. I have some curbing and the bare metal color over the matte blue is pretty noticeable. I know I can refinish but I'd have to do all for to ensure a proper match plus if I were to do all four I might just pick a diff color anyway rather than possibly being disatasfied with a bad recreation of matte blue gunmetal. I'm wondering if anyone knows a place that can do this so at least the curbing won't be noticeable from a distance. Google searches haven't shown any options.

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer directly? Another option could be to seek a profession wheel refinishing shop to see if they have done that color or similar to other wheels.

If I recall correctly Volk doesn't have a USA satellite just distributors for their wheels. And wheel repair shops can color match but I'd have to repair all four wheels to get an exact match. I was hoping someone knew of a place that would basically custom make a tiny bottle of touch up paint to save myself 800-1000

Try Finishmaster...there's one in Boston. I have them match OEM colors for me often, and they can make you as little as 1 pint. If they don't have the Volk wheels color, you can take them one of your rims and may even be able to work with you on matching it as close as possible...
Anywho, it's a great place to have in your bag of tricks. Give em a try! GM Quote:
