    So one of the first things I did when I got my used 2012 this year was pull off the wheel covers since the black wheels underneath look really good on my sea glass with tinted windows. Mine now have several curb scrapes that I want to touch up. Any advice on type of paint to use to touch them up? Someone must have done this by now. Thanks!!

    Any gloss black should do.

    I'd actually like to get another, for touch-up some black steel rims. I have a dupli-color with brush applicator, code:

    NG SF 100

    But it's getting pretty gummy. Also, seemed hard to find on Amazon.ca (for reasonable price with shipping) last time I looked. Probably local automotive stores are a better bet for something like this.

    Seems like traditional touch-up tubes with brush applicator in the cap are getting hard to find though. Frustrating. Maybe local automotive stores are best bet.
