Default Gold touch up paint......

As above, I'm posting this, hoping that someone has a good Gold Match hint for Inovite alloys - got one of my Redlines in need of some TLC, maybe someone has found a good match in Halfords or similar ????


Thanks,

Si.

It'll never even look a close match, as gold is a metallic and a touch up stick cannot 'suspend' the fleck in the colour let alone get the colour pigment right. The best bet is to re-paint the whole rim, which isn't as drastic or expensive as it sounds, even all 4. If you can remove the tyres first, all well and good then you can use any paint shop with a UV oven to harden the paint. Or call in one the mobile guys who run around with a tyre machine in their van.

Thanks for that mate - Maybe a whole "4" Wheel colour change will be on the cards now then !! Especially as I've now got a split internal drive wheel nut !! Very liable to cause even more damage to once perfect wheel !!!!
