Default Wheel paint repair

Hi,

I have the stock 5 spoke painted silver rims, can any of you recommend the best route I can take to do the touch up work. The scratches are on the front of the spoke not as in curb rash around the lip, I'm in need of some advice on the paint color, materials needed and the best way to go at the repair for a DIY job

Thanks all

when you say "painted", do you mean factory paint or you had them painted?

if it's a factory painted wheel, you might be able to find touch up paint if you know the color code. I have gotten paint from TouchUpPaintOnline.com for my car and it matched well, you can check with them to see if they have wheel colors too.

I touched up some curb rash on some thinspokes I had. I used the silver touch up paint that I had for our 2000 Acura Integra. It was a perfect match.

I tried to order the Sparkle Silver (WA EQ9967) from this web site and my order was cancelled due to they did not have the correct paint pigment to make it.
