So i bought those black saleens off jake (for the second time) and SEATTLE STREETS SUCK!:fm: ...out of no where the front right wheel got scratched. Its not rough but it took the black paint off...so my question is can i buy some sort of touch up paint or will i need to pay a bunch of money to get it professionally fixed? I obviously dont want to pay $100 + dollars to fix it when i could just get a new rim. Would they have to repaint the whole wheel? Or can it be professionally touched up? Its two very small and smooth scratches..but big enough to be noticed. any help thanks

I had the same wheels...Just buy some DupliColor Black touch up paint and use that. If it is deep, into the aluminum, I have a repair sequence saved on my hard-drive I can email you. It has pics and step by step instructions for repairing rash.

Where can i get this duplicolor paint stuff? It may need a slight sanding or something to smooth it out as good as possible, so that would be awsome if you could email me that. My email is [email protected] , thanks!

no, i got a nail in a tire and it went flat...when i took it to get repaired they said it was a illegal tire to work on due to its wear and tear. So i had to buy new tires, so i figured i might as well get new wheels and tires for $200 more dollars then just buying tires for the stocker rims for $800
