Good job, the only way I would know it’s there is the slight nick in the tyre.
That’s good practice for the next time OH kerbs again 🙈
Hopefully not 🙏

Decent job, that’s the beauty of black wheels if not to badly damaged they are easy enough to colour match compared to other painted versions, whereas if it were diamond cut you would be putting yourself through the time, inconvenience and cost of a complete wheel refinish.

Find a black that's similar and build up thin layers, and then paint on some clear laquer on top (I'm assuming your wheels are glossy)
Which one out of interest? I have lightly nicked one of the satin platinum GT design alloys on my car, much to my annoyance.

If OPC can’t provide it this company may be able to help.

For the 2 really tiny stone chips I had I used my Merc paint which is known as Tremolite Alloy.

However, after researching a bit the dark titanium used on the Macan standard alloy seems to carry a paint code of OC6 from digging through a few web sites. On the site posted there is a paint labelled Titan Dunkel with code LOC6. As Dunkel means Dark I reckon this could well be the paint. Worth an order at £9.99 for a bottle.

P.S. - Porsche can't help with the paint, they literally do not sell wheel paint.
