APEX Wheels Touch Up Paint

I run APEX SM-10s (Anthracite) on my daily (F31) and I got a few nicks that were bothering me and wanted to touch them up. When I reached out to APEX, they cannot offer touch up paint samples due to their agreement with their manufacturing facility, but they did point me towards a product that is a very, very close match. I used it last night and I have to say it was a great match to the APEX Anthracite color.

bigdaddycane did you prime and clear coat the chips as well? Would be interested in pics if you still have them too.

I did not prime or clearcoat and they have held up well.

I will take pics when I take them off in two weeks to put the snow wheels and tires on.
