Default AEV Argent color wheels

Just got my wheels and tires mounted and the tire shop rubbed through the
paint on every wheel with their socket. Any one know if there is touch up
paint for the argent color?
I can't get anyone to get it right these days.

Will have pics soon as I calm down.

I would paint their assholes with my shoe. Why are you having to fix the problem they made? Sounds like a shitty shop.

I am fixing because I know it will get done right. I should have taken my
thin walled socket for them to use. But I guess since they have been in
business 30+ years, I figured they knew what they were doing.

It is around every lug nut area where the socket touched the wheel and burned off the finish. You would think after the first wheel he would say to himself. "Hey, gomer! Sumpin aint rite heer!

No center caps or did you just cross a river already. Every time I ford a river I lose a center cap or two. AEV has been very good about sending me new ones. And find a new shop. Every shop now has thin walled plastic covered sockets for wheels.
