Post Touch -up paint for 'Aluminum Option'

Hello ALL,

My car has the aluminum options package and I ended up nicking a aluminum handle( very small) .
Any suggestion on where I can purchase a bit of touch up paint to "pretty" it up so I don't have
to replace it.

Thanks,

Peter

We paint interior parts all day long for the Porsche. Typically we'll use Arctic Silver Metallic for most.

I would try two options if you are near a dealership where you can get touchup easily.

First is Arctic, second is BMW Titanium. Try both on a small piece of coated cardboard and let dry. Then compare in daylight against existing alumalook pieces.

Eric,

Thanks for the info.

p.s. Thanks for sending me a great set of Meridian 'plugs' last year. <img border="0" alt="[byebye]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" />
