Touch up paint for the forged black alloys

[robroy]

Do ford do a touch up paint for the alloys, just washed the car for the first time now found a small chip grrr

[robroy]

might take it  to the wheel specialist near me, are they likely to be able to  do any thing to repair it rather than re doing whole wheel ?

Try Halfords satin black touch up – I saw it recommended on another site and it seems to have worked well.

[robroy]

Quite small but it’s a finger nail deep

try a felt tip pen for a quick fix (youll know its there, but no one else)

[robroy]

I spoke to the wheel specialist , as i suspected they will only do the whole wheel, they dont do “smart repairs”,

its bloody annoying because it stands out like a sore thumb 🙁

Hi robroy,  Try Scuffsandchipspro on ebay. He supplied me with the standard silver touch up for the standard RS wheels and it’s a very good match. I had a couple of stone chips as well.

[red-leader]

Try this link for starters. If you email him he may be be able to confirm it’s suitable for a Mk3 RS.

Thanks red-leader I will take a look

Sharpie permanent marker covered it up. Not a good match but takes the eye off it

[robroy]

Not keen on the idea of a felt tip pen , went in to Ford today they don’t do touch up paint for wheels waiting on an answer from scuffsandchipspro, I Will take a look at the Halfords suggestion too ?

Brake dust will cover that up nicely.  I find my car is excellent at turning brake pads into dust.  I think it’s all the weight. The car’s, not mine (ahem).

Satin black nail varnish? Might sound stupid (maybe it is) but that’s what a local bike shop advised for chips on my mountain bike.

[robroy]

Got sent this from Scuffsandchipspro, which one do you think it would be ….

Hi there

Apologies for the delayed reply! I can certainly supply the paint for you! I just need to check one thing!

Ford do two black alloy paints – one has very tiny metallic specs in. The other is just a straight black!

Can you confirm which suits your alloys and then i can supply the paint with the satin lacquer!

Many thanks
Cheran

Halfords satin black is a very good match. I have done it on one wheel and it’s difficult to see.
