Looking for touch up paint for my 2018 Mustang with the silver 20 inch rims. I searched here and on the net with no luck. Anyone know where to get it or something that's a close match? it's a small scratch so something close would suffice.

I have asked dealers the same question-Ford apparently does not distribute or share paint codes for Rims....I know its a small scratch but calling a aluminum rim refurbisher/repairer and asking nicely what they use might get you somewhere....

Buy a can of aerosol paint in a silver color and a cheap, modelling paint brush. Spray a small amount of the paint in a disposable cup, dab the brush in the paint, and apply the paint to the wheel.

There is no need to make this overly complicated for such a small scratch that absolutely no one else would ever know or have known it was there in the first place.

Believe me, I am not losing sleep over it. It might have been there since I bought the car since it is in a spot that is close to the bead, like it happened when the tire was mounted at the factory. I just figured there had to be some sort of touch up paint available for it.

I have the PP Luster Nickel silver wheels, I tried some touch up paint that I had on hand from a silver Honda, it matched perfectly. I was more concerned about sealing off the breach rather than a perfect cosmetic match, but it did both. Those wheels (which are sick) look to have more of a Platinum tone to them. I would go to a place that sells the automotive touch up paints, pick the closest match, and use it.

Yes my concern is more to seal it off as well. I will definitely hit up the local auto parts store and see if something matches.
