Paint for Titanium Wheels?

**zx6jimmy** · 04-10-2008 03:31 AM

So i've searched and I've found a few threads on repairing wheel scuffs but can't find anything about repairing titanium wheels. Does anyone know where I can get paint or if I even can get paint to repair this scuff on these wheels?

Thanks

You can always sell your wheels to me. Will come to OK to pick 'em up too :-)

haha...... well I would but I haven't found a good replacement yet :o) I guess i'll just have to throw the spare on

Yeah, I've got a small amount of curbage (hardly noticeable) that I'd like to fix, but the paint color, oy!
Not like having silver wheels, where you can just use the Wurth Paint.
I might just repaint the entire set gloss black.
Duplicolor has a gunmetal wheel paint that I used on a set of Superleggeras I restored for my old R32. It's close, but I'm not sure how close.
I don't think I have any left in my paint cabinet.
Here are the wheels on the R32 with the Duplicolor Gunmetal:

So far, that's the closest off the shelf color match I've seen.

I'm assuming you are asking aout the factory Titanium wheels? Your local Audi dealer should have touch-up paint.

To the OP, I haven't seen anything on titanium wheel repair. Have you looked into having them powdercoated a different color? Maybe now is the best time...that is, if you're looking to keep them.

It's not that I LOVE red. I just always seem to wind up owning them. The avant is my 4th red car

I was trying to get a Black one, but no go.

Thanks for the compliments on the R32, it was a fun little car. Wish I could have kept it along with the Avant.

I doubt the dealer will have the touch up paint. If any dealer can get it, I would call and order it from Penske. Out of 3 dealers, they were the only one selling OEM branded Touch up paint. Phone is (626) 384-3400. Ask for Ed in Parts. He knows his shit. I order Brilliant Red touch up (it comes in paint pens now) About 19.00 shipped for one pen of color & one of clear coat

Audi doesn't seem to offer factory touchup paint for the Ti wheels. Anybody worked on a DIY? Come on Avant, your our custom paint guru. What's up!?!?

You can try going to a paint shop and having them match the paint on your wheels for you, if your wheel isn't painted in a generic color.

guys...go to a Infinity dealer..they have a charcoal or greyish colour that resembles the T.I wheels alot

**scoobycarolan** · 11-19-2008 06:48 PM

Mk4- did you use it, of are you just saying? I'm looking for a definitave answer here.

**'mk4-turbo** · 11-19-2008 07:45 PM

i didn't use ot but my dad has this car and the paint is very close

other option wuld be go to a paint shop and have them give you a small amount of paint matching the wheels (like touch up)
