Lol, not for me. The wife has been unable to find a job in almost 3 years. I might have to sell the Z. :(

Even more of a reason to move up this way boss man. It does suck that she hasn't been to get some for that long.. Hopefully you don't get to the point of selling your Z. Jobs are overflowing up in this area and it's not uncommon to get jobs in matter of minutes (yes I said minutes) give it a try our way, you'll probably fare better ;)

any updates on how your wheel looks after some polish?
all 4 of my wheels are pretty curbed (from the previous owner) and a few new ones from me.

I was thinking about trying this, or at least using the dremel to sand them down.

i couldn't get the same color from just regular available paint. GL with your repair! :)

So... after polish and everything you can still tell if you look closely. My advice is that if you have a lot of curb rashes, paint the whole thing. The paint is really hard to match.

kenchan 10-05-2011 01:50 PM

yah, i found the same too. if it continues to bother you i suggest you take it into a wheel repair shop. they seem to have the exact paint match.

Astrosfan 10-05-2011 01:56 PM

how do you think it would look just to dremel the "rash" off? for now at least?

kenchan 10-05-2011 02:11 PM

there's a black coating under the silver finish so that might show through but filling that down will definitely make it less obvious.

KaienZ34 10-05-2011 02:12 PM

Isn't it black under the paint on the wheels?

kenchan 10-05-2011 02:24 PM

um yes..(?) :icon17:

FOR REAL!!!! Someone plz get the right paint. Ive been working on my mildly rashed 09 370 nismo rays lmz5 wheel for 3 weeks. Had paint matched 3 times this is the best i can find.. any ideas

the most recent is first and going to the beginning... The last paint looked perfect in the sun with the match card in hand on top of wheel.. HOwever, NOT sooo much.. Not gunna lie though im happy with the paint quality just doesnt f!!! match...I first tried to have the automotive paint supply in FWB FL eye it with a no go...the dirst two times.. This last time was a near perfect match i thought, off Porsche wheel.

I have 3 options paint the entire wheel which is what im thinking will happen. 2. buy 1 new wheel for 500$, 3. paint all 4 wheels a diff color.

Any Ideas?..posting all my pics
