Scratched wheel
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Had a flat repaired in "09 xk vert with stock 10 spoke alum wheels. The guy put a nice 2 inch scratch in the wheel getting tire off! Is there anything like a touch up aluminum paint that I can get to at least decrease the visibility of the scratch without having to spend a lot. I am not going to redue the whole wheel, a couple of the wheels already have some curb scratches. thanks,

I have found a product that is "dead on" for Jag Silver Sparkle wheel paint and commonly available in the US at Advance Auto Parts. The label states it's an original GM color. Go figure.

I tried the paint suggested by tarhealcracker. I have/had a couple of minor curb rashed areas that stood out because the paint was scraped off. The Dupli Color paint above worked great! The spray can (under $7) was cheaper than the same in a touch up bottle. I used a fine brush and applied several light coats....
