Unhappy Repair CURB RASH on wheel?

Hey guys, I have a 2005 C230 Kompressor, Sport package.

I have a curb rash on my rims, not severe, but would like to fix it.

Does anyone know the color code? Do I need clear coat?

I suggest that you search the forum for "Wurth Silver." You should find several discussions that will point you in the right direction. (I couldn't find a definitive answer with a quick search and I have to go to work.)

Please post the information you find. I have a wheel I would like to repair.

Wurth silver is the standard wheel paint for German cars. MB and Porsche both use it. I imagine BMW and Audi would too.

The AMG wheels are a secret proprietary colour. Yours are non AMG so you won't have this issue.

Hey thanks for the reply guys.

I found conflicting information. Some say it's "Sterling Silver", while others say it's Wurth Silver.

Anyhow, do I need clear coat?
