There’s a few suggestions on the thread below;
I tried one of the suggestions and didn’t think it matched when I tested it on some paper so ended up just getting it repaired by a company (but I also had fairly large scrape all way round the rims on both)

Have you ever kerbed your Aero wheels?
Today I’ve kerbed my front wheel again :eek: I’ve been driving for 43 years, and in all that time I’ve damaged one alloy wheel, and paid to have it repaired. I’ve had the Model 3 just over a year, and this is the third time I’ve scraped one of the Aero wheels. Are these the worst designed...

It won’t match on paper, completely different substrate and background colour! You needed to try it on the wheel.There’s a few suggestions on the thread below;

Is it an exact match?

I got the one with the brush and when I kerb a wheel it was just a case of using wet & dry to sand it down. Cleaning it with some IPA and paint the aluminum and damaged area with the brush. Two coats with 20 - 30 mins in between. Brush in the direction going around the wheel and you can hardly see the damage! Colour match is perfect too!
Not sure if that's the same one I got, but the lacquer is just a clear coat. I didn't use it in the end as the paint was glossy enough.
This one does not match the 18” stock alloys. The colour is much darker. After contacting the seller I was sent a second one, but that’s no better. Below image clearly shows the difference.This paint is really good. Easy to apply and matches the 18" alloys

Me too but that matches the earlier 18 Aero alloys but wasn't there a shade change more recently?

Actually, looking at the photos, I'll put some paint on the new alloy tomorrow and check the match...

Without meaning to sound patronising, make sure you all shake the pots of touch up paint vigorously and for a good minute or two before using. Not just a quick 5sec shake.
The silver metallic flakes in the liquid paint will not mix properly otherwise and sink to the bottom, and the end result will come out a lot darker than the shade it was intended to be.

Mine is a 2020 70 reg the new version with the black handles is yours the same?
I’m worried that the pint colour is different in the 2 different models ie upgraded model
Could you confirm?
That's the same as mine. Although I think they call it the 2021 model - heat pump no chrome etc.

As promised, here is a 2021 alloy with this paint applied.
As you can see it is slightly darker than the 2021 alloy... I don't have a 2020 alloy apart from the photo I shared above...
Still it would probably would be OK or even used as a base coat... Or maybe I didn't shake it long enough to mix the silver particles!
