Base model wheel paint

zbeach · 02-03-2018, 10:57 AM

I just scraped both right side wheels on my brand new 2017 6mt going into a car wash. It's a base model with the black wheels. It was Sunday so no dealers were open to get some touch up paint. So I went to my local hobby store and found a perfect match. Testors graphite metallic is a perfect match for $1.99. I have to look hard to find the damage.

Just an FYI for anyone out there that can now avoid the nervous breakdown I just had this week.

Thanks, I'll try that. Got new rear tires and the tire guy used a wire wheel to clean rim where the new weights go. I guess the request to not mess the rims up didn't get passed to him. I have the same year and same rims . I keep a paper bag in the car to breathe into when **** like this happens lol.

Good to know. That can be really upsetting.
