Wheel paint
I’ve managed to scuff my 741 alloy and I could do with knowing the two best silver and grey colour paints to repair it myself as it’s only minor, can anyone help with this please?

The "silver" is the wheel alloy covered with clear coat. No paint needed, but meticulous work of removing scratches and applying two thin layers of clear coat. About the (let me call it that) titanium paint - you'd better ask dealer to find out.
In my experience, amateur repairs of wheels scuffs cannot be done to restore 100% looks. I'd target protection of alloy from further corrosion if scratches are deep enough to open metal. In your case, as I might guess from posted photos, simple buffing might be all that is needed to restore good looks. Good luck! |

I'd agree that part isn't painted, but is highly polished.
If you got through the clear coat to the aluminum, you'll probably still see some indications of scratching if you touch it up. |
