Default Wheel touch-up paint needed

Porsche wheel touch-up is not available. I have a 2001 Boxster with 18" Turbo style wheels that have a few minor mars/nicks.
Has anyone found a brush-on paint that would work well on these??? I would guess that most Porsche wheels are painted with the same silver color.

Thanks, Bob

Without seeing them I can only suggest you check with your Porsche dealer. Mine has a "wheel guy" come in as needed and he does an excellent job. I seem to remember him doing 2 wheels for about $100 or so. It's worth it to check anyway.
