    Tire shop left some scars on my wheels removing/replacing wheel weights. Wouldn't be an issue if the truck had more than 100 miles on it. Does anyone have any experience finding a good color match touch up paint for the TRD Off Road 16" wheels?

    (Tried searching and could only find info on body touch up paint)

    Thanks

    I think the wheels are just Clear Coated aluminum except for the interior of the cutouts.

    Edit: nevermind, that's the sport wheels.

    I'd go back to the tire shop and make them fix them.

    Well the marks are really just from where the old wheel weights were, new tire means new weight location. I'd probably have to take that up with Toyota!

    I ended up ordering this off of eBay:

    My expectations are pretty low but I can update on how well it matches and holds up.

    It's coming from Hong Kong. Don't get your hopes up too high. Then again, it could surprise you. :)

    Oh Crap. I just ordered that wheel touch up too before I noticed its coming from Hong Kong. May be a rip off? Did you ever get yours? Hows it match if so?

    Just got it, (took a couple of weeks). Haven't tried it out yet, but the bottle is transparent and it seems to be a pretty close shade of silver. Bottle is also labeled 2015 Tacoma TRD.

    Hi, How did it turn out and do you have a link that works? I just found this post and the link doesn’t work anymore.
