Forgestar wheel touch up paint or color code?

Does anyone have any experience with forgestar specific touch up paint or know the color code for forgestar specific titanium finish?

I been searching everywhere but I can't seem to find anything. However, I did email forgestar so I am waiting to hear back from them if I ever get a response back.

If anyone have any info I would really appreciate it!

I know you email them and are waiting for a response, but i have learned that if you just make a simple phone call any wheel company is usually more than happy to help you or answer any questions. Best of luck on finding your paint code.

True...

I will wait until tomorrow after labor day to see if I get a response. If not, I guess I'll just give them a call.

I just don't understand how some companies have a message box that they make you fill out for comments and questions but never get back to you..ohh well..

I am so ridiculously pissed off right now. I talk directly with forgestar today and their tech says they have no touch up paint or color code because titanium finish is a 2 stage powder coat with black and silver. I really don't know too much about powder coat but I do know for a fact BMW has 2 step touch up paint for their titanium factory wheels and body paint. Does anyone know if this is true? I am lost. So this mean as much as we pay for forgestar wheels, and if we even get a single chip does this mean we are basically SOL and have to replace the wheel or have it re powder coated? This is ridiculous.

If I ran over a curb I might actually feel better knowing that it was my fault. Actually I have no idea where the chip come from. It look like a rock came flying on the highway and possibly hit the rim. Its a size of a green pea right by the center cap. It stick out like a sore thumb..

Lol... I know what you mean. Same issue here. I actually got someone to color match a can of paint for me, and I touched it up myself.

What type of finish is on your rim?

If I can just come close I think I would be ok. I just don't know what would match brushed titanium. It almost look like a darker shade silver in a way then it look like light silver. I never thought about the difficulty I would encounter dealing with "special" finish in a situation like this.. lol.
