   Has anyone found a good spray touch-up paint that closely matches the S lite silver color? The dealership suggested Griot`s, but it doesn`t come close.

	I've painted cars before. We were asked to touch up silver rims and it never worked out. Even painting a full rim and matching it to another rim is kind of difficult. The problem with metallic paint, is that when it is painted all at once the mica lays all the same direction and picks up the light all the same way. When you put on touch up, it may look OK in one light but horrible in another. Sorry the news isn't good. I have a problem spot that I'd like to take care of myself. Spencer
