Kissed a curb today, anyone know what the wheel paint part number is for a 2020 Limited w/ Black Appearance Package wheel for paint? I have a small rash on the rim.

Thx!

I'd like to know that too if anyone can supply it. The wife added her own style to her right rear wheel on her Limited w/BAP.

Same... I wish you could choose to use the mirror cameras independently on the screen to watch your wheels close to a curb.

I’ve had my Ram for a couple of weeks now, and one of my biggest fears is scraping a curb with my wheel/tire.

I did the same thing. Testors Satin Black Enamel hobby paint is a perfect match. I got it for like $1.50 at menards. Since it’s enamel it’s waterproof. I can send a pic tomorrow when it’s light outside.

Edit: The satin black is a perfect match for the Night Edition Wheels. The gloss black is likely a better match for the Black Appearance Wheels.

Good to know. Could you also post a picture of the paint label?

I'm guessing it looks like something like this...

I used to build models in my younger days. I may even have a bottle of it still. Wonder if it's dried out by now.

The paint your looking for is Testors 1139 Semi Gloss Black. Here is some pics of the label and a close up of the wheel where I painted it and a slightly farther away. Up close you can see it because I didn’t sand down the marks, but I have a hard time finding it from a distance anymore.

Mines the Laramie Night Edition, and it calls out satin finish wheels. I see yours call out gloss wheels on the spec sheet, so you might want to go with the 1147 black gloss instead. If you don’t have mineral spirits, get a small tin so you can wipe it off before it dries if you don’t like the match, but it should be very close.

Don’t use the 1147, that’s gloss black, it will stand out a lot. Make sure you use semi-gloss or satin.

The wheels on my Limited w/black appearance package are gloss. My guess would be to use 1147 if you have gloss black wheels, and 1139 if they are satin.

Yeah, I corrected myself earlier, so I would definitely agree with you. I just assumed that the night edition and black appearance were the same type of paint. Just have some mineral spirits handy so you can wipe it off if you don’t like the match.

Are the satin black wheels difficult to clean?

Hey there, Thought you would all like to know that Mopar sells Wheel Touch up Paint kits. They are less than 20 bucks and there several colors to choose from. I just ordered mine and they will be in next week. The dealer didn't even know there was such a thing. So I Pointed them the catalog that is linked here. Check out page #3

This thread is perfect timing as I started looking into fixing a few scratches on one of my wheels.

This is great. I am hoping someone can help me figure out what I need for my: 2020 Limited 22–Inch x 9.0–Inch Polish / Painted Wheels w/Insert. I've attached a picture of mine that have scratches in the silver part.

Well I searched on Ebay for these touch up paints for wheels since my local dealer had no idea they even existed. I asked the seller what they thought would be a match and he suggested Gloss Black wheel Touch up PX8, however I can't be sure that's right but ordered it anyway. I just got it yesterday and going to do a quick spot on the wheel to see if it matches. Seems like no one really knows what the exact match would be which I find kind of hard to believe. I do know when I called a local wheel repair guy out here he was quoting me like $250 because of the difficulty in matching it. Suggested I refinish all 4 wheels so they match and gave me a price. I passed.
