If anyone is looking for a paint match to Model 3 Standard Range + Aero alloy wheels, I can recommend this from Amazon:

ANTHRACITE ALLOY WHEEL TOUCH UP KIT REPAIR KIT
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073PY8SWF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've uploaded a photo of my 'repair' to a scuffed wheel. Although it looks a bit rough in the picture, you actually have to look quite hard to find it and I'd say the paint is an almost perfect match.

Tip: I found that the brush supplied is a bit small plus paint builds up in the handle and 'blobbed' out so I used an old plastic lid to put a dollop of paint in then used a normal craft paint brush to apply it :eek:)

You're going to have to say which car and which alloys .... they're not all the same!

A few threads were merged as the same info had become diluted across a number of similar threads, but the OP mentioned M3P in their title but year, variant etc unknown.

So in absence of any more confirmation, looking at previous posts, I would guess a 2020 Q4 M3 Performance.
