I have some stock 17's cup 2 that need some love to remove some curb rash. Removing the rash is easy, but not sure about getting the right silver paint finish to match the factory wheel paint via airbrush/touch up. Does anyone have any recommendations besides stripping them down and respraying them?

I believe you're after Arctic Silver, there are two codes for that..

L92T Arctic Silver Metallic
L92U Arctic Silver Metallic

Go with the T version for the Wheels..

For other German cars I have heard Wurth Silver wheel paint being used, not sure on our Cup 2 wheels.

Never heard that one before!

That's the code I went with for my Cup 2s.. Was I wrong..?

I would think Artic silver is a little too brown, GT Silver has been mentioned before

This has been covered many many many times over the last 20 years, here and many other p-car forums. Wurth Silver Metallic works fine.

The only real question is how (and whether or not) to touch up small areas, versus spray the entire wheel, and I believe the answer to that lies in your personal paint skills and patience searching youtube for how-to's.

I refinished a pair of Carrera III wheels using the Wurth silver paint and clearcoat. To my eye, the color is a perfect match to the original paint.

FWIW, I would just repaint the entire wheel instead of trying to touch up specific areas.

Looks like I have been living in ignorance on this one..! I think I asked on a Forum and go that as answer, so treated it as Gospel..!

Hey ho, I guess when they need doing next, Wurth Silver Metallic it is..!

Arctic looks okay though, so no harm no foul..

IF You look up the part number for a wheel ie: 17 Cup 2 in Part Online catalogue you find this:
993 362 128 00 61m
61 M is for Silver Metallic Paint
This is a Common Mix code 61M for wheel restorers
