I saved a post for a while back about repairing curb rash on your wheels. I'd like to do that on my car soon (not rash but peeling paint in places). Unfortunately the post is light on the exact description on the products needed:

Wurth metallic silver paint ? Is ther eonly one kind? Any particular part # that matches 993 wheels ? Just want to be sure.... I also suspect that fixing peeling paint is harder than fixing a groove. I am hoping to sand the edges of the chips and fill them, unless anyone has a better idea...

Thanks... It might, but those are "brush" on touch ups.. The link I posted originally points to an aerosol wurth can, and unfortunately I am not doing a curb rash repair but trying to fix a peeling patch. I wonder is there is any different trick to this ! I also wonder what caused it in the first place !!! Should anyone have the paint # from wurth (or tips on fixing chips vs. rash) that'd be appreciated!

If not, Bozo will tackle the distributor caps first and re-invent the firing order ;-)

I got the Wurth paint from Performance Products, they had only one silver. Why is yor paint peeling? Where they repainted?

I wish I knew ! I got the car this way and the paint on the wheels was peeled off in 2 spots. One on the edge of a rim (maybe curb rash repair but it looks like factory whitish primer behind - hard to tell), one crack in the paint in between a spoke and the rim...

I was initially gonna replace them but so far have not found a rim that I liked, was light, and was affordable - I know, a tall order ! Might as well try to fix'em.
