I didn't see it on the site, but i'm sure you can get it. But what would be really helpful is can you get the paint in spray cans?

i, like an idiot, hit a curb when i was parking today, and need some sunlight silver to touchup the wheels after i smooth down the affected area.

if you can get this, let me know. thanks in advance.

there is a really good thread on fixing curb rash on wheels...I'll try to find it for you glyphon, but you may want to do a search as it is kind of old

yeah, i found a detailed article at audiworld about fixing up curbed wheels. thankfully its wasn't messed up too bad...mostly just surface scarring, no deep damage. its not really noticable unless you get up to it and are looking for it. still, i know its there and it bothers me. :)

so, i don't think its going to need any reconstruction...just going to sand it down nice and smooth, give it a couple layers of paint and then a clearcoat layer. if i can get ahold of the paint, i'll do it this weekend, if not, it'll be next weekend.

i take some pics of before, during, and after.
