I have a number of minor "curb" injuries to the alloys. As a temporary measure, does anyone know where I can get some matching wheel paint? - there are lots of similar grey/siver colours but none of them match. Full refurb is quite expensive so inclined to wait until I have a more serious injury - curbing bit of an occupational hazard with day to day use. Thanks.(perhaps I should invest in one of those "smart" mirrors that dip down in reverse!)

I would also like to know.....and whilst we're at it, what about the colour of the 'Big Red' Callipers? (other than -"red mate"- of course!)

Re the calliper colour, try:

Trouble is most of the callipers are fine, just the odd mark. Could do with some touch-up paint really! (no money left after Henry cleaned me out!!)

Porsche guards red isn't a million miles off "Big Red" colour (but that depends on hard you've tracked it that can turn them orangey in colour) BMW Titan (Titanium Silver Colour Code 354 IIRC) silver is a fairly close match for most wheels.
