I found this write up. I scratch my front wheel, has anyone done the repair but on a G35 rim? If so what color of paint did you use... I guess now I have something to do when I go on vacation in a week.

If your wheels are painted, maybe you can try that.

Paint

I have curb rash on all 4 of my G35's. I went to the rim repair shop and he said they didnt do hyper silver because there is LEAD in that color. I asked him how did they make them since spraying lead paint is outlawed in the US. He says they still do hypersilver in Mexico & China. He also said that he could actually paint it with a brush, but the color inconsistency would be obvious and the whole wheel may need to be done.

Good Luck!
