Does anyone know how I can get a hold of some paint to put over some curb rash on my 57 Xtreme Gramlight Matte Graphite Wheel color.

Thanks again!!

Funny that I came across this post. I emailed Rays the other day complaining about the poor paint quality and the fact that the paint has started to chip off. I've yet to hear back.

FWIW, I have the 57Xtreme in Winning Blue.

Man, y'all are making Texas look bad with damage to high end wheels, j/k crap happens. I'd forgo even talking with Rays about it since you're likely to not get an answer at all and just go visit my local auto paint shop. If they're good they'll be able to mix the color needed to match and put it for you in a spray can so you don't have to invest tons of money in painting equipment.

Aren't there some pretty big disclaimers from Rays about Winning Blue and Velvet Carmine not being robust coatings, ie prone to fade/chip/peeling?

Didn't know this. I was set on either 57dr or rpf1...till I read this :/

I guess this solidifies and makea my decision easier (I don't want no chipping paint! lol) ....RPF1 all day!

The velvet and luminous colors are said to fade and change shade with sunlight and age. So, they won't always remain the same color. They'll get dull looking after a while.

However, the coating shouldn't just be coming off out of nowhere. The coating shouldn't be chipping off within a few months of ownership unless you're hitting them with something.

Thank you for correcting my statement, I thought it was for chipping as well not just color.

Got a slight gutter rash on my velvet blue rims and my panel beater was able to match it, how ever he said it was one of the hardest paints hes ever had to match
