Does anyone know where I can buy Wurth Wheel Paint (or any decent brand) in the area? I have my new wheels for less than a month, and already a rock has chipping the paint on one of my spokes :mad
Also can this be applied with a small Q-tip because I'm not trying to spray the whole wheel, just touch up a small chip to keep it from chipping more?
I know the factory wurth silver paint won't exactly match the gray SSR comps but I just dont want the paint to chip more.
Thanks in Advance, hopefully I will get this fixed today

Its only about 1/4 of an inch long maybe shorter, but it goes down to the metal. Its not really a cosmetic thing(its on the inside edge of one of the spokes) I just don't want to the clear or the paint around it to chip any more.
Preppy, do you have any suggestions?

Thanks, I actually have the paint and clear coat set for our cars as well. I think I am just being paranoid. They are wheels, they are going to get hit by rocks and you can't really do anything about it. I may just put a little of the clear coat over the chip, and be done with it.
It's just one of the those things the owner gets mad about but no one else will notice or even care.

yeah, i would probably put a clear coat over it, but if you're looking for wheel paint, have you searched around online? it might be cheaper that way too.

Don't use touchp paint. It turns yellow on wheels.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm just being stupid about the whole thing, you can't really see it but I know it's there.
Do you guys think I should protect it somehow(a layer of clear coat) or just leave it as it?

hmmm.......it depends. What kind of chip is it? how deep is the chip? And what size is it?
