Anyone know an easy way to repair a wheel after a few scratches....Or any good shops close to St. Louis, MO. Checked with the dealers around and they want $700 for a new wheel

(without tire) so looking for alternatives. I have the painted aluminum midnight silver wheels

Get the paint code and it's not hard to do.

Can anyone verify that the OEM silver painted wheels would be matched by the following paint:

Bavarian Silver Metallic Clearcoat (wheel) WA9752

Another option is to have the wheel refinished - there are shops that specialize in this. Tire shops use them all the time to fix wheels they damaged (don't ask how I know). It'll probably run $150 to $200 though, but they buff out the scratched, paint and clearcoat. Check with your local Discount Tire or similar to find out a local refinishing shop.
