covering up wheel scuffs

[walter22]

i have got 17" cup wheels, with a few scuffs here and there. now i dont want a "matte" finish but id like to tidy them up myself, with a bit of paint and sort of just paint the scuffs grey so they dont stand out so much??

any idea where i could get the paint to match the grey cup alloys?

quick fix really!

well there not terrible, but i mean my front one is pretty bad.. the other ones have light scrapes here and there... a bit of a touch up would sort them out, maybe ill get the front one refurbished as it has slight denting too it.

any ideas where to get the cup grey touch up pen possibly? or a bit of paint?

By Grey cup alloys do you mean Anthricate? Think its spelt like that.

My mate has black alloys, scuffed really bad he touches them up with a perm marker pen, no joke. Dont do it though looks terrible.

I've heard of people doing that before rofl!

Just get a small pot of paint mixed up to match and touch them up. It'll make the wheels look nicer from a distance and a bit more pleasing on the eye.

I've given up on mine now as the other half has ruined both front wheels!

ya anthracite ones. they do this paint at main dealer?

 

[M@tt_182]

Paint code for standard anthracite wheels is - Ixel 205-110 you can order it from http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/ but most places should mix it up.

It's now winter so personally wouldn't bother I'd save up and get them refurbished in the spring.
