wheel colour

[terry@yarmouth]

hello people, my motor 2007 w211 is in nice nick apart from the wheels.
original 11 spoke alloys with kerb rash on three of them. no actual damage just paint rashes in three or four places on all of them, don't realy want to go down the powder coating road, so was gonna try touch up paint kit first. now question is what shade of paint would be the closest match to original colour. thanks all.

Unfortunately MB don't seem to do wheel touch up paint. Just go to the nearest motor factor that does paint-match aerosol cans while you wait. They will have colour swatch cards so you can get a very accurate match--- around £15 for a large can.

Have a look on the Wurth site, or look on ebay at the wheel repair kits they do, it comprises of 3 cans....etch primer, base colour, and laquer.

They do an excellent one they called german alloy wheel....you won't be disappointed.
