Default Chipped Paint on Wheel

The gorilla at the tire shop chipped the paint on my wheel when the impact wrench got away from him. I have the styled steel wheels on my 2007 Tacoma. Does anyone know where I can get touch up paint for these wheels?

I'd be going back to the shop and asking them to get me a new wheel! They damaged it, they should fix it. I've never heard of touching up a wheel, but check with your dealer for touch up paint. Maybe they can tell you what would match best.

if they damaged it, they need to fix it. They should be the ones to make it right, not you.

Think I would at the least have them pay for the repair. Check with a Lexus or Acura dealer in your area for wheel repair. A friend of my here in Atlanta got a pretty bad curb rash on her TL the Acura dealer had someone there that was able to repair and paint it. It looked good as new
