Scratch on rim

[Mikla]

I've just hit my front rim and made a minor scratch on it (0.5"). Is there any paint that could be used to cover it?

Thanks

Check with your dealer. Some have a vendor who can repair the rims and you'll never know they were damaged! They deflate the tire, sand and fill damage then paint it and add clearcoat. Once cured, tire gets re-inflated and you're on your way.

My dealer offers this service and I've seen the work. And, I'll be needing it as well. I too have slight rim "rash" from a curb.

Sure beats getting a whole new rim. There are also companies that will exchange your rim with a referb one.

Wurth paint. It comes in a spray can and matches the factory finish pretty closely. It can be purchased online at www.performanceproducts.com. Here's the link: http://www.performanceproducts.com/product...l+Paint+Lacquer

They have a retail store in Van Nuys, CA as well.
