Magnesium Wheel Touchup Paint
FYI-
Called a few Chebie dealerships looking for touchup paint. They were no help, even with RPO codes. I ordered a bottle from the Eckler's catalog. Turns out it is GM brand touchup paint.....duh!!!!!
Here is the GM part number as it reads on the bottle:
"1 #12346496 code N73 WA 1630"
Don't know which portion will make sense to the dealership but there you go anyway.
Thanks Ecklers!!
GM...nice try but, no cigar!

Just got my bottle of magnesium from Ecklers last week. Haven't cracked it open yet but probably will this weekend. I also picked up a bottle of duplicolor clear top coat and some primer. Don't know if I need the primer or clear coat. I'm thinking that with the depth of the marks in the wheels that I would be best to clean out with a pencil eraser, prime the spot and apply several coats of magnesium. Then clear coat it for a nice finish.
My $10 bottle of paint ended up costing $800 since I figured I might as well replace the front 2 run-flats before touching up the wheel. Doh!
Wish I could figure out a way to replace the faded yellow "magnesium" lettering.
Let me know how your touch-up job turns out.

For the Magnesium wheels, just get Scratch Fix 2 in 1.
General Motors #NG GM 482 (light drift sand met.)
It's a dead on match for the factory magnesium wheels and available at your local auto stores.
