Great job! I think if you weren't actually looking for it, you now wouldn't know it's there.

Looks pretty good.

Anyone know what the paint code is on sport package wheels? I'm betting you could find a better match.

any updates on how your wheel looks after some polish?
all 4 of my wheels are pretty curbed (from the previous owner) and a few new ones from me.

I was thinking about trying this, or at least using the dremel to sand them down.

So... after polish and everything you can still tell if you look closely. My advice is that if you have a lot of curb rashes, paint the whole thing. The paint is really hard to match.

there's a black coating under the silver finish so that might show through but filling that down will definitely make it less obvious.

Isn't it black under the paint on the wheels?

Default curb rash lmz5 wheel paint match

FOR REAL!!!! Someone plz get the right paint. Ive been working on my mildly rashed 09 370 nismo rays lmz5 wheel for 3 weeks. Had paint matched 3 times this is the best i can find.. any ideas

the most recent is first and going to the beginning... The last paint looked perfect in the sun with the match card in hand on top of wheel.. HOwever, NOT sooo much.. Not gunna lie though im happy with the paint quality just doesnt f!!! match...I first tried to have the automotive paint supply in FWB FL eye it with a no go...the dirst two times.. This last time was a near perfect match i thought, off Porsche wheel.

I have 3 options paint the entire wheel which is what im thinking will happen. 2. buy 1 new wheel for 500$, 3. paint all 4 wheels a diff color.

Any Ideas?..posting all my pics
