Touch up Paint for Black 791M Wheels?

zobr · 06-22-2023, 10:39 AM

I have very minor curb rash that I'm looking to touch-up myself.

Is anyone aware of a perfect or near perfect match touch-up paint?

I actually have a touch up paint pen from our old '2014 Black Mitsubishi outlander that I've used to touch up rock chips on both my BMW and Corvette wheels. It near impossible to see where I've touched them up unless you really scrutinize every inch of the wheel. If BMW offers a standard black touch up pen (not black Sapphire, or carbon black) it should work fine.

I use VW Black paint.

I wonder if I should get the Jet Black touch-up paint from BMW...that's generally for exterior paint though or go with a universal glossy black paint from Amazon.

Hey there. What did you end up getting and how was the result? Looking to touch up my 791M wheel as well.

Go for the Jet Black, It's an exact match, I've used it on mine in two small places along the rim edge. It doesn't have to necessarily be from BMW ColorSystem. As long as it Black 668 it will match and cost 1/4 of the BMW brand.

Jet black from auto zone or pretty much any jet black? I assume it’s glossy. Makes sense? Thanks again…
