Curb rash touch-up

I have a 03 6MT Desert Plat. Came with titainum (colored) painted 18" wheels. Been trying to match up paint to fix some curb rash. Think I found an almost perfect match, put out by "Plasti-kote", for $3.99. Can is labled #5743 TOYOTA.
I smoothed out the rash with emery cloth & laid down a coat of Plasti-kote gray primer. ($3.99). Put on the color. It took 3 coats to cover & I tried to feather the edges, then cleared it with Plasti-kote Clear. ($3.99). You have to experiment & see what works best for your case but I got it to really look good short of a costly pro-job.

Cool, thanks for the info. I tried the touchup for gun metal from Rota wheels, but it was a shade too dark.

My car came with a very slight curb rash from the dealer.
