Paint came from automotivetouchup.com. I also considered paintscratch.com.
I also did the bumper on my pickup truck with less than stellar results. Not sure what went wrong, but the finish turned out matte, not gloss.
Good luck with your project.

well if you are handy, as it is evident given your results, you can do the wheels yourself too. There was an Issue in Excellence that told you how to fill in the rash with a product called 'HALF TIME' (link below), and the same sort of spray you used for your wheels. The article showd you how create a cardboard enclosure so that to keep the paint of the rubber. There's also the second link which has been around for a while, I didn't have such great results using their filler.
