2024 Model Y Gemini Rim Paint

[Mike321]

Hello, my name is Mike, new Tesla owner and first post.

I purchased a 2024 Model Y long range last week and I'm loving everything about it. Hit one little snag today, I had ordered center caps because I like the look of the Gemini wheels without the covers. I took the covers off today and was a little bummed to see all the scratches and black marks on the rims. I tried to buff out the rough areas a bit, but not much luck on the black marks. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend the correct touch up paint for these specific rims?

Thanks, happy to be here

I had gone through Amazon and saved a couple, but was not sure if the color changed at all for 2024. I'll try out Starlight Silver which seems to be the right one. Thanks

Just following up in case anyone is interested, the Starlight Silver is very close, but it is a little darker than the wheel. When I do all the wheels I'll probably add a little white from a posca pen to lighten it a bit.

Also, I recommend this wheel rim protector, which is the latest developed specifically for the Model Y 19'' Gemini wheel. It not only covers existing scratches on the rims but also protects them from further scrapes and scratches. The color perfectly matches the original wheel color.

Are the black marks through the paint, or on top of it? (Fingernail test them) I suspect you need to use a more aggressive compound. Wheel cover scratches on the spokes are unfortunately normal, but shouldn't be deep enough to warrant painting them. Polishing with an orbital buffer and some compound should get everything out.
