993 Wheel Touchup Paint?
Have a couple of scratches on the 993 wheels on my shark. Wondering if there is any touchup paint that will match reasonably well. Tried the dealer, but was told there isn't any specifically for the wheels.

If you search on the word "Duron" (the paint store chain) you will see a posting from JB on using a particular Duron latex paint to touch up leather surfaces. I had great results last year on my gray seats.
This year I went to the Duron store for a strip of sample "blacks", matched one of the samples to the color of the steering wheel and touched it up. All scratches and scrapes were covered up beautifully.

Visit an automotive paint store - one that sells DuPont, PPG, etc. They have a bunch of paint card samples, and you can match one up there. It may cost you $25 or so for a pint of paint, but it will last you the rest of your life (and the car/wheels life as well).
