Arrgh! Scuffed alloy on kerb...advice please
 
After taking great care to stay well clear of kerbs I finally caught the near side rear rim last night.

You know how it feels when you get out of the car and make that walk to the wheel to assess the damage! thats a long 10 seconds.

As it happens the damage was, luckily, very superficial a tiny chip and a almost non existent rash about 4 inches long on the outer edge...but it will darken once brake dust gets in.

My question is this... has any one managed to find a suitable colour match for touching up such a small area?

I have the standard silver chrome alloys fitted to the 370z GT (not the darker ones on the GT special edition)

Cheers...

Take to wheel repair shop. It will be 100% brand new

take it to a repair shop like what lakeshow said. but if you already have plans on painting/powdercoating it then just wait until then because they'll fix up the wheels when they paint it.

Yah there's really no match for touch ups for this wheel that I know of
Take it to a pro.

Just had to have the allow rim fixed on my wife's BMW and you can't tell it was ever damaged. Cost $100 from a wheel repair shop.
