Hi all,

When I bought my CR it had some curb rash on one of the rear wheels and I'm looking to use touch up paint to blend the rash with the rest of the wheel so it's not as noticeable. My question is, has anyone gotten the Kaiser Silver touch up paint from Acura and used it on the wheels? Does it match up well? I'm probably going to pick some up today and try it on a small spot of the curb rash so that I can gauge how well it will blend... just wanted to see if anyone had done this before.

Thanks!

In for replies, I have a couple scratches on mine and some interesting damage from who ever removed the wheel weights. Wish I could have bought the CR new then it wouldn't be fixing all the previous owner's neglect.

Are you planning on using the spray or touchup bottles?

Touch up bottle is what I had planned to use... didn't realize there was a spray available.

The pens or brush touchups tend to dry slightly darker so do a test area or card sample first. Most sources offer numerous sizes in OEM paint and some useful how to's.

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing... that it might dry slightly darker. I think I'm going to grab it today and test it and see how it turns out. If I end up painting over the rash, I'll show before and after shots.

I think Freddy Krueger got ahold of my wheels, I have the same issue from previous owner on the wheels

I'm in for results as well I've thought about doing this but it keeps slipping my mind. Hope it goes well!!

Well oddly enough (thinking about the CR lip thread) I was told by the Acura near my place that the touch up paint is on backorder and they're not sure if they can even get it. I'm probably going to try looking into an online vendor and order through them for the paint.

I've got some scars around one of my center caps (trying to remove them for the axle nut DIY is a pain!!)

I also have scars on the inside of a few of the arms, not really sure how they got there but I'd love to touch them up!
