Does anyone know if there is touch-up paint for S-Lite Wheels? I've had my MCS for 3 days and managed to run the rim into a curb already. The damage isn't too bad, but I would like to apply some touch-up paint.

Thanks!

I'm sure your MINI isn't too pleased with your negligent driving, treat it nicely!

Ask your local dealer parts department if they have touch-up for the wheels. The wheel finish is actually a powder-coating, so essentially you can only band-aid with a touch-up paint.

Where can I get this paint?

I called my Mini dealer and they said that Mini doesn't sell any wheel paint for touch-ups. Does anyone have any aftermarket touch-up kit to recommend? I can't stand this curb rash but I can't leave the car for 2 days (no spare wheel...) for a full professional wheel reconditioning.

Thanks!
