Wheel damage

Post by Pete-B »

Hi, I'm fairly new to the forum and would appreciate some advice, we've got a 2013 R Line and did a stupid thing today. I'm always moaning to her in the kitchen if she gets anywhere near the kerb in case she damages the wheels, so what did I do today, you guessed. I was distracted (well that's my excuse) and gave the front nearside a clout on what turned out to be a very rough kerb. I took the paint off about 4" on the edge off the rim. My question is, is there a way I could carry out a reasonable repair my self and, would I be able to buy some silver paint to match off the shelf?
Thanks for any help and suggestions.
Peter.

You could try to fix yourself with somw Wurth silver paint, which is a close match but it will be nowhere as good as a professiol refurb.
