635 Wheels Curb Rash

I scraped one of my wheels on a curb. The damage is only next to the tire. The gray part was not scraped. I was able to sand and polish the site and now I want to paint just the damaged portion. I have these wheels:

Anyone know where to locate the code for the silver paint and where to get the paint?

Most dealership have contractors that do work just like this, mostly on lease returns before being resold. Have you reached out to a dealer to see if they might share who they use for touch-ups such as this? When I drive by our dealer I see their contractors vans all the time.

You have a problem, as it's not silver painted - that is diamond cut aluminium.
Paint as such does not readily stick to aluminium.
The diamond cut and the grey paint have a final cover of stove finished clear lacquer applied to them, which is what you have damaged, along with the bare aluminium.

Its a tyre off job to have it done correctly.

I have the same wheels. I curbed a wheel and damaged it near the tire. I think it was about $165 at the dealer to have their guy repair refinish it.

I eventually used finer and finer sandpaper to get the perfectly smooth surface. From a short distance one can hardly tell damage was done. It is bound to happen again.
