Black wheel touch-up paint

JAGio · Mar 24, 2023

Recommendation, please. Curb bump-out exiting a bank drive-thru made a mess of my front right wheel. Grrrrr! Yes, I was pi$$ed - there's now a reflector to warn people.

I used a few coats of this about a week ago on 2 of my wheels. Looks much better now.

I touched mine up with some "Satin Black" touch-up paint. That's when I learned the tires were not rotated correctly. The curb rash was only on the right-side wheels.

I had a bit of rash when I bought the truck, so I used some guitar touch up paint I had in the shop. Works wicked good.

This happened to me last September on the same wheel. It was traumatic but I'm over it for months now. Mine is not that noticeable fortunately and I rarely look at it.

-IF- the rims are truly aluminum. Get some emery paper, sand down the scratches and mars with the paper wrapped around a little wooden block. Dab this stuff on it with a q-tip.
It's a chemical reaction with the aluminum. Wont come off as easy as a marker or paint, etc. I use it on aluminum framed guns.
Figured its a cheap experiment for ya. Never tried it on wheels, but ya never know as long as they are real aluminum.

I was going to ask about this on the wheels, I got some minor "chips" on the wheel. Is there a way to fix that or just use that sharpie above to hide it?

I used this on a small curb rash and it worked perfectly. Was done on my aftermarket wheels. not factory ST wheels.

Did it stick? I have a one inch rash on two wheels on the same side and a scratch on my roof rack. I'm just wondering if this marker lasted. I'd like to find something that will last for a long time wihtout re applying constantly.

It will stick if you prep surface.
De grease, etc.
Maybe sand it down a bit if there are rough edges. Mask it off if necessary and go for it. It will look better than the scratch.

This will stick for a long time. Just like Flyman mentioned, prep the surface.

As college football season approaches Mr. Badger...Go Illini!

Haha I love it! It is certainly more interesting with Illinois being stronger these days. The B1G West is going to be intriguing this year, I think.

Flyman · Aug 16, 2023

Indeed sir, the west is wide open. New quarterbacks for most, maybe all depending on what Fleck does about his situation.
I can't thank you enough for noticing that illini are on the rise. It's been dark times.

So I ended up getting this product and it is a perfect match. Time will tell if it holds up.
