19" Sport Wheel Touchup paint for curb rash

[SJC3]

Could not find a confirmed paint code on the interwebs for the silver 19" Sport wheels so I tested a bottle from Quicktouch (PMSS Starlight Silver) and it worked out nicely. The bottle comes with a standard brush tip and the match is more than satisfactory. I'm still working on this rash (very deep) and I should have filled it before painting, but oh well, it'll just take a little more time to fill and then leave as is, or wet sand then top with a clear. Bottle was shipped form china for $15 total.

Original rash up close.

One coat

after 4 -5 coats, still more work to do, but OK to show the color match.

Thanks, I've been trying to find something that matched. Also have some rash but I've since installed RimBlades to help hide them and prevent future rash.

Actually it's a company called Quicktouch and the product is "Tesla PMSS Starlight Silver (12ml paint with brush tip)" Didn't want to post a non-sponsor link.

Thank you for your reply. Is it the one below?

If yes, that's the lowest price on any touch up paint I've found so far... And by looking at your result, it looks like the best match so far as well. Can you confirm that it is still holding up good? No need to apply extra coating or anything else right? Thanks again!

 

[SJC3]

Yup holds up well. They charge for shipping, it’s reasonable and comes in a couple weeks.

 

[joonrhee]

Well noted. I'll be ordering one shortly. Thank you!

If you have a small touch up area, get one of those tiny artist brushes to fill the spot more precisely.

 

[joonrhee]

Just received shipping notification so I’ll check out if I’d need smaller brush when I receive it. Thanks again!

I just received it over the weekend, but haven't used it yet. I will post update once I give it a try. Thanks.

The scar

 

[joonrhee]

This is after the first try. Color seems to match very nicely but when touched very rough and bumpy.

 

[joonrhee]

This is after sanding, as you can maybe see the scratches next to the original scar

 

[joonrhee]

This is the final result after dabbing with touch up paint, then sanding, then more dabbing, then drying for 6 hours, then sanding again, then coating and polishing. I know it still looks rough but if you touch it it is very smooth. This is probably the best I (and my coworker) can do without actually spray painting the whole wheel (which wouldn't be worth it for such small scrape).

All in all, I guess paint color is a good match if anyone else is looking for a touch up paint.

What type of sandpaper did you use? I got the touch up paint also and want to try it out on a small scratch.

 

[joonrhee]

3M 1000 grit.

Great post Joonrhee, I ordered the paint just now for my 20" sport wheels.
