Default Satin Black Wheels - Paint Chipping

I took delivery over the winter and just recently started putting some miles on my car. In only the first hundred miles or so I already started getting a couple paint chips on the Satin Black wheels.

Does anyone know of a touchup paint that's a good match for Satin Black? As far as I can tell, Porsche doesn't make one.

Ordered!

Washing my car the other day I found some tiny paint chips barely visible unless you're close to the wheel... Probably from sand/gravel on back roads. Not bad at all but I was a little surprised.

Honestly this car is not made to stay pretty imo... It's very much function first... so I'm not surprised it gets a decent amount of wear and tear. I have 3k miles since August so that helps too.

The same thing happened in the 991 GT3 generation.

Some owners were successful in submitting a warranty claim.

You should try it, never hurts.

I agree. Cars are meant to be driven. I'm okay with some chipping here and there and also some touch up. No PPF on my car and it's a DD.

Thanks for the recommendation!

If it gets a lot worse I might give it a shot. Otherwise, I'll just try to not worry about it for now and have them refinished in a few years when it's time to replace the tires.
