Default Found a touchup paint for OEM rims...

Hey guys,

Like many of you I suffered from some unsightly curb rash. Finally couldn't take it anymore, decided to try some touchup paint. I bought this Scratch Fix 2 in 1 paint in the color NG GM 508 (GM Ultra Silver)...seems to be a decent match, especially considering it's $6. It's closer to the OEM wheel color than any of the OEM touchup paints are to the body colors.

Just thought I'd pass this on in case anyone else couldn't stand their unsightly curb rash.

Thank you. I just bought a set of 18" Touring wheels with slight curb rash on two. This is exactly what I needed.

I had posted a question here not too long ago, but I have the 35th wheels. Are they the same color as the factory wheels?

Nah the 35th wheels are little darker and more metallic-looking.

Where did you buy it from? And can we see an after and before picture of your wheels?

I found this stuff at O'Reily auto parts. I apologize for not taking a picture before and after...I didn't have access to a camera when touching up, and I couldn't live a minute longer with my curb rash. The color match seems pretty darn good..I had 2 or 3 people take a good look (one is an opthalmologist with a really keen eye)...all said they were impressed. Of course it's not perfect...but for less than $6 hard to argue.
