Default Wrecked my fx4 wheels

I wrecked my fx4 wheels! I rashed one really bad!! I opted to try to fix it and it worked really well. With one problem the paint store mixed me a paint thats way off!! I was hoping someone here on the forums could get me a code or some thing that will work!!
Removed the tire to fix it


800 grit sanded


Painted and ready fro the tire


Was told the jb weld is perfect for filling the scratches


Jb weld filled the deep scuff perfectly


Primed

As you can see noticeably different. I i had the wheel at my work and never got a chance to compare it. The paint store said it was Mercedes benz color I forget the name. Is there any color out there that can match the wheels??

Which wheel was rashed? If it was the front one, I would just paint the other three and be done with it!

Yeah, but everyone I find is ludicrous money! I love this style of wheel and would love to get a set and powdercoat them... but not at north of $1K for a set of 4!
