SS 1LE Scuffed Wheels - Need help on DIY
I have scuffs/curb rash on 2 of my wheels now. It looks like it could be an easy task but just wanted to see if anyone had touched up theirs on their own. I ordered some gun metal spray and it looks off (havent tried actually spraying it though). Any spray recommendations brands, what color wheels do we have (metallic satin?) any general advice would be helpful
Thanks

This would be great if someone new the paint code...which has always been tougher than nails to get a match on any car I've had previously. When i've had black nail polish worked perfectly fine.

Previous thread had the paint code.
https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=481651 "Looks like the satin graphite metallic is 784U." I got a little touch up can and cleaned up the rough edges with a little light sanding. I have a hard time remembering which wheel it was now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JC8VNDY..._7cXNCqKh1tmTS |

If you really want to be overkill on your repair check out MotoIQ, they did a seriously in depth repair on their V8 RX7 project wheels.
https://motoiq.com/watch-easy-diy-cu...-wheel-repair/ I just used a medium and fine piece of sand paper to take off the edges and smooth it out and then was very careful applying the touch up. probably only took me 15 minutes. depends on how bad you curbed it of course. |
