I purchased this TSportline paint TSportline for my Überturbines - and it’s damn close.
5foot rule is 9 out of 10. You can maybe see the blemish - and the color match is pretty damn good IMO.

52, many thanks for this intel. Just ordered some for my WEEK AND A HALF OLD MYP that I curve rashed today. This was not attributable to rim design - pilot error.

Depending on what you want to spend wheel companies can repair them. I curbed one and spent $100 to get it repaired to like new. They didn’t even have to take the tire off.52, many thanks for this intel. Just ordered some for my WEEK AND A HALF OLD MYP that I curve rashed today.

We are all human. I made the same mistake. No one else in the car to blame but myself. That’s how I know!… pilot error.
I bought some testors black metallic after someone in another post recommended gray metallic. The black with just a touch of a dark brown was a perfect match for me. I recently did a DIY repair and I’d say it passes the 1ft test. I just need to polish a bit and it’s very hard to see where the damage was. Here are some pics.

@Hashbrown Would you mind posting the pictures your paint cans/colors?
And did you blend the two paint sprays on your own?

Here are the two colors I used.

I used an airbrush and would mix about a teaspoon of the black metallic with a quick brush dip of the rubber color (very little) I noticed the uberturbines have just a slight warmth to the gray. the black metallic alone was really close, just a tiny bit too dark so the rubber was a good way to lighten and warm.
I used bondo to fill in the nicks. Then I sanded and wet sanded and then sprayed with automotive primer. The primer actually fills in some spots naturally. Wet sanded one more time before painting.
I curbed my rim pretty badly on a curve at the Starbucks drive thru and was so mad at myself!

@Hashbrown Thank you.
The Überturbine wheel touch up paint from Tsportline works well, but application is with a brush - I wish it was aerosol.

Credits to the original poster (can't recall if here or Reddit) that said this was from CarQuest auto parts and a great match, I kept a screenshot of it in case we needed later.
