Dumb move on my part and my rim has curb rash. Would any of you be familiar with a good touch up paint for black alu rims?
Thanks, Don

 

I also would like to know this. I did this to my front driver's side rim yesterday and it about broke my heart @_@

 

i believe the paint code is BMW 303 which is for black cosmos metallic. i also need to clean up 2 scuffed wheels.

most forums state that any "glossy black" will do but i would like to get it as accurate as possible.

a quick search online has already located a pen for pretty cheap. you'll also need to purchase the clear. i did a scuff on my body and at first the thunder grey did not match. the moment i put the clear, it seemed to match almost perfectly.

black should be much easier to match than grey. i'll probably guy this and do before/after pictures.

 

I bought some black touch up paint from Autozone. It's a pen with both black and a clear coat. Hope it works.

 

Ok, I went the cheap way... I've always just used a black Sharpie and it works really well. Then again my JCW wheels are a sort of semi-flat black; not flat and not high gloss, somewhere in the middle.

 

Yeah, I get it, but my F56 wheels have a glossy finish. I think the Kroydon kit I bought might work. Hope so.

 

I did the curb rash thing the first weekend I had my new MCS. So far, I have tried to ignore the minor injury. That said, I like the black Sharpie approach. Gonna give that a try after the next wash.

 

I touched up my scratched black with a paint stick I bought at Autozone and I have to get really close to the wheel to see the repair.

 

I thoight black rims would be less worry but I think I'm wrong. Last night I shined my 16" black rims and reading this post, makes me be very careful, lol.

 

I worked in a factory making racing dinghies with mixed carbon and black-anodised aluminium masts. The black sharpie was known as the "instant anodiser" for any scratches during manufacture....
