No DIY's on fixing 370z curb rash?
 
I searched the forum for a DIY but have only found similar posts to this one where people have found DIY's for other cars which can be used universally but the problem is if anyone has found a close enough paint code from a spray can?
The only mention so far is using Duplicolor's Hyper Silver. No one has actually posted results or attempts as far as I know. I rather not resort to paying a wheel shop $100 every time I curb the wheels, although the amount of rashes are building up over the 33k miles I've driven it. Sometimes I cut a corner too close when turning

:icon14: How many times do you plan on curbing them? Ha I know how expensive it is to repair curbed wheels, but if you're concerned about having it done right why not just get it done right and then try to avoid curbs?

maybe wat you need is a DIY how to drive correctly? :icon17: ;)

the hyper silver is hard to match. you're better off getting it professionally done.

Square your turn a little more, are you trying to hit the apex on corners around town? Haha

yah, but that's just a silver wheel paint. and ive used that same silver on another wheel set i had on my dd. the metallic particles are HUGE.

it is not the hyper-silver color to match our factory wheels. for our wheels, best to just take it to a pro.

I had some really light scrapes - not through the paint or anything. Silver Sharpie fixed 'em right up! I swear. You had to get within about 12" to see them, where untouched they were visible from 5 ft. away.

The one I put on it a few weeks ago...that's gonna take a pro.

kenchan 06-07-2013 02:26 PM

can you post up which silver sharpie you used? :) or a product number or something?

also, are you far sighted? :ugh2: lol
