Touch up paint for our 18 'inch wheels?
Touch up paint for our 18 'inch wheels?
Wanted to know if there was any touch up paint available for the G35 coupe's 18 inch wheels. Recently had my car's wheels "almost" stolen and now they're scratches in each lugnut hole. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here is what I found at another site. Not touch up (none exists that I know of) but it works. I tried it.
"I went to the craft store and bought a tube of silver leaf "Rub n Buff", which can be rubbed into the deep scratches. This is a wax metallic finish in a small tube. Cost is around $3. While it is not the same as a repaint, it will fill in the areas to minimize rust in the future.
You squeeze a little from the tube and rub it into the scratches with your fingers - then let it dry for a few minutes and polish with a soft cloth. You want the rub & buff to stay only in the scratches, so polish well. If it dries on the good (shiny) part of the rim, you can spray a very little WD-40 on the polishing rag to smooth things out a bit.
From a distance it is not too noticeable and sure looks better than deep, black scratches. "
