Default Magnesium rims
Does anyone know where I can order some touch up paint for the magnesium rims? These things chip so badly I just want to touch up before I burn them and throw them off a cliff.

Forum sponsor Fichtner Cheverolet (Ken Fichtner) keeps it in stock if you can't get it locally.

Hey Steve can you look on the bottle I gave you and give Canon622 the part number? Talk to you soon. You are doing Skyline right?
