Sadly, after 3 years my ms has curb rash on two slipstream wheels despite strong efforts to avoid curbs. It's inevitable. Periodically, spouse and adult child are behind the wheel and doubtful they are as careful as me since their vehicles have more rash.
It's a minor repair and I'm fair handy / thrifty, so DIY is my repair method. After reviewing over a dozen videos and threads, it's unclear what silver paint to use for the best match. Some DIYers say the match is 90-95% and that's not good enough for me. Spray vs brush is preferred to avoid brush strokes and best blending, but experienced DIYers may convince me otherwise.
Which paint matches best on stock silver slipstream wheels?
1. Rust-oleum Universal Advanced Formula, metal paint/primer, flat soft iron
2. T-Sportline - brilliant silver
3. Duplicolor Ford TS silver frost AFM 0341
4. Duplicolor GM 17, WA 636R, switch blade silver
5. Honda satin silver
6. Other?
7. Does Tesla sell a spray can?
