Hello everyone,

This weekend I am planning on painting to indented Corvette letters on my chrome wheels red to match the calipers and need help on what type of paint to use.

1. Can I use red model paint (testors)

2. Should I go to Auto Zone and get red paint there.

Thanks for your help...

I can not tell you what paint to use but please post the results with some close ups. Thank You.

testor paint is enamel and would be okay, I used the torch red paint from auto zone sprayed it into a little cup and then used a small brush to put it into the indentations wiped off the excess with lacquer thinner. Easy to do. Automotive paint is lacquer and using lacquer paint will last longer. will post pictures tomorrow

there is a thread on this
I purchased the CRM Pin stick from local chevy dealer - worked great and matched the car

Rustoleum sunrise red. I've used it on a number of rims over the years. I wouldn't keep using it if it didn't hold up.

I just used the touch-up paint the dealer gave me.

Had mine done by a guy that does pinstripping. He used pinstripping red paint so he did not need to take wheelsoff. Paint did not rue

I would just use some touch up paint. Should hold up just fine.
