any diy for curb rash
 

got a little curb rash last night on my 18" base wheels:eek:
i want to fix this myself with the method found here DIY Fixing Curbed Wheels Rim Repair How To - 8th Generation Honda Civic Forum

but i need to find the right paint color for my wheels. anyone find any thing close? someone said duplicolor import platinum is close. any experience?

I would love to do this for a few spots on my 19" Rays....

if all fails send it to a wheel repair shop... Wheels America

thast a cool diy

what a lazy a$$, he didnt even take the wheel off his porshe to work on it...... idiot

id rather just NOT hit curbs..

best bet would be to pull the wheel and take it in to a paint supply shop and have them color match some paint. A good shop will be able to analyze the color for you and mix a match.

Everyone. I did some searching and I found a source for the Hyper Silver paint at Express Paint. At the bottom of their webpage, enter "hyper silver" into the Quick Search window. The results are a can of HYPER SILVER Rim Paint for $29.95. Give it a try.

ive seen this page... here is the warning. but worth a try if you want. :)

"Note: This color is an original color of ExpressPaint and it is not meant to match OEM rim paint. "

Ahhh. Thanks for the clarification Kenchan.

if you are willing to, i recommend you ship your wheel to below:
