Here's a tip.

Krylon makes this product/device that works splendidly well to paint over a light curbing that happens from time to time.

The pen comes in both gloss and flat black and works and blends perfectly. Gloss of course is the right one for all our oem black wheels. You really have to get up close to see the touch up. eBay $8.

The brush is I guess what you'd call a "gravity dabber" that you press in to feed the paint like osmosis into the hard wick, which is light years easier than a brush. I leave a pen in my glove just for that moment of hearing that dreaded grinding noise we all know.

Try it.

 

Excellent. I have a couple of tiny spots that are not worth having the whole wheel done over.

 

MBOURNE - Did you yourself paint your rear diffuser white or was it like that? I've been meaning to ask you.

I think it was yours I saw that gave me some inspiration to have mine done. I wasn't positive and too lazy to search.

 

Now that is useful. Thanks, will look for one.

 

It's the small things that work for you huh?

I try to give back when I can. I've gotten a lot from here.

 

No, just the useful ones.

 

Is this my first?

 

It came that way. Mine was a JLR early VP car so they did some creative "mixed packages" on it. Can't actually make it with the configurator then or now. It was almost like the guys said; "I want one of those, and two of those and while your at it throw in the....."

Makes it unique which I like. I do like the diffuser that color and it's actually ok to keep clean.

 

Bravo.

As I'm sure you can attest, that little strip of color does wonders, especially for a white car.

When I got my car back from the shop and saw the rear for the first time, I was like "holy ****!", what a fat ***. It really transforms the rear from a sports car to an exotic car in an inexplicable way. In my case it also "frames" the red tips creating a special look. I personally think the guy who put together that car had a talent. Too be able to foresee what the touch would do before anyone had done it puts him in a space like the cartoon designers who have the *eye*. He "saw" it without having seen it if you catch my drift.

I just love it and thanks for the inspiration.

 

sadly doesn't appear to be available in the UK......... "only" $20 shipping for $5 bit of paint LOL

 

What is funny is on Amazon it shows up under "Beauty and Personal Care" with makeup. Sooo... What do women really use this for? Wheel repair and eye liner?

 

I think Home Depot has it if you just wanna pick one up but I recall they have only one flavor, didn't remember if it was the flat or gloss so be sure to read the label because they both have the same black cap.

 

I bought one at Orchard Supply Hardware in red, yesterday and should have bought a black one at the same time. I think they had about half a dozen colors.

 

Nice, I ordered one off Amz. $6~.

I have one tiny rub on my back wheel that has been driving me nuts. Hopefully this will cover it enough to no longer be noticeable.
