I scraped a good inch on mine both at the right side (Front and Rear) while getting out of a Chase drivethru ATM. Damn these people. they put up an island so high and yet does not provide a visible marker where it ends.

Thats going to be a project if you can find the paint. You cant really paint 1 spot of something since its probly not going to match too well. I would suggest doing the whole wheel if you find the paint. Then your going to have down time on your car.

For paint, look for somthing called Wurth Silver. If it's a small piece, you can try to find something else..I suppose worse case is that it won't look worse than non-fixed

Here's a how-to

Has anyone found a good paint?

I had the good fortune this Holiday to find a nice scratch in my wheel..

The Wurth stuff I mentioned is marketed toward German and BBS wheels..plus it's killer pricey ($23 + shipping) and hard to find outside of a couple of stores..
