What can I use to touch up the stock rims?

Was at the track yesterday.. going about 180kph... heard a bang...

Somehow I picked up a rock, the rock spun inside the rim, then got inbetween the spokes..

Now I have a bunch of stupid chips ! Is there touch up paint? or anything?

It's purley cosemetic and I'm sure i'm on the only one that would notice it but still

if they're polished i don't think there's any touch up paint. pending how large the chips are you could try buffing them out or just painting your rims.

I found some Dupli touch up that's pretty close, I'll post the code tonight when I get home, it was the silver from my '02 Cavi I think.

If you have the money, powdercoat > GM rim paint.

The biggest issue with GM rims is that their stock paint blows. Every GM rim I've ever used had bubbling paint.

If you go to http://www.paintscratch.com you can order the exact color for your wheels. I believe it's called "sparkle silver". Once you pick your model, the option is on the next screen.
