Pits in sports pkg 19" Rays.
 
I have a few pits in a couple of my rims and am wondering if there is a process/product that I can use to fill them in to make them somewhat less nasty at the least. Here's what the damage looks like:

Thanks!

Just take it into a wheel repair shop they can fix it for a couple hundred bucks. If you didn't cause the damage, see if the dealership will fix it. I would just leave it alone.

Been searching around for a close match and yet to be found. The closest I have was Honda's storm silver touch up but the metallic flakes are too big and a couple shades off.

It might be best to leave it alone.

wierd, that looks like some kinda pebble or stone hit it at high speed.

Try duplicolor's platinum metallic for nissans. Part no. NS 00595. I tried 9 other colors before and this is the closest ive found.

I forgot to mention that i apply the duplicolor grey primer fist. It helps to build up the knicked spot and helps the color turn out better

cool, got it. i have gray primer.

In my usual process i need to flatten the spot using spot bondo first (red color), then gray prime, then the touchup.

i need to get a small air brush compressor this winter and practice air brush. :icon17:
