Anyone tried the 'Wurth Alloy Wheel Spray Paint' to fix curb-scratches?

I know this spray is supposed to perfectly match German alloy wheels, but I was wondering if anyone used it on the RX8 wheels, and what results did you get.


Thanks,

Never tried that but I refinished one of my wheels with Duplicolor High Performance Wheel Coating HWP101 Silver. After HWP103 clear coat, it was a perfect match to the silver and has been holding up very well. Proper prepping was done with Duplicolor self etching primer.

edit: I know my wheels look gold in the sig picture, but that was because of the sodium lights.

They should be available at most auto parts stores, e.g. Autozone. I bought my supplies from Autozone. I saw them available at Strauss also.
