Anyway to fix/paint scraped rims??
Well , it finally happened...I put a mark on my BRZ..pulling into parking space at work and the right front rim scaped the curb.
Any touch up paint that matches the silver color of the rims? Any easy fix?? |

Although I've no personal experience with this, word around these parts is that Plasti-dip matches everything

powdercoaters usually can fix and powdercoat a rim to new looking

Not sure what part you scraped but since there's a youtube video for EVERYTHING I would start there...here's a link to a painted wheel fix-up I found.

If by silver you mean the machined faces, then paint will be your best bet to fix it.

1. Sand down + clean with alcohol
2. Apply JB Weld 3. Sand cured JB Weld smooth, take it down a bit less than flush to the metal 4. Primer + 2 or 3 layers of paint 5. Don't look at it too closely and don't repeat your mistake |

That is exactly how my wheel looks as seen in the picture. Anyone know what spray paint would match the silver color of our stock wheels?? |
