Curb Rash Black Wheels

[JayceeP]

Not sure when and how but noticed this bit of curb rash on the gloss black wheels last night. Always knew it was a risk given the profile of the tire sidewall and how the rim spokes stick out.

Any tips on how to fix? It’s not a huge scrape. Can I spot sand and paint? What paint do I need?

For reference these are GM 22” OEM gloss black wheels.

Just dabbing that with gloss black rustoleum out of a can would make it unnoticeable. If you want it to disappear then I’d recommend taking it somewhere to be refinished.

Perfect thank you. Yeah just looking for a 90% of the way there job. Like you said, just trying to make it not noticeable from 5-10 feet away. Would you bother trying to spot sand it first? Either way I’ll give the rustoleum
a shot!

i supoose sanding wouldn’t hurt. Probably even recommend.

I never did when I would touch up my wife’s wheels. We had a can and stack of throw away brushes handy lol.

Most Dealers have someone that repairs wheels, you may want to contact a few and see who they use.

Curb rash. Never heard of her.

Rock rash, now that’s a badge of honor.

Ask my wife and daughters…. Although they’ll deny she exists… they know…. They know

Gloss black nail polish seems to do the job for me every time. But that's because I'm very cautious about curb rash, and tend to make wider right turns.
