In the first six months of ownership I’ve managed to graze/kerb my überturbines three times. They really are ridiculously easy to damage.
Anyway, I couldn’t find anyone online in the UK selling matching paint and the Tesla Sonic Carbon paint I ordered via Amazon was too light. In the end I painted some samples of Halfords scratch and chip repair paint on white card and found that Mercedes Selenite Grey was a close match. The pen applicator in these kits also makes it easy to apply the right amount of paint precisely into the damaged surface. Then lightly flat it off level with the factory paint and lacquer.
It’s not a perfect repair, but isn’t noticeable unless you actually get close up to the wheel and look for it.
Other Überturbine wheel owners may find this useful.
