|  I've Dinked my Wheel OK I have to admit I caught a kerb today on a roundabout the guy on the outside did not leave me enough room and I got pushed into the kerb on the roundabout or hit him. The question is the scrape is perhaps 8 inches long around the circumference of the wheel. I can fill it as it is not deep but what colour are the wheels sprayed ? I should say the Aluminium is still OK it has ripped the powder coating off. Any suggestions ?. |

 | Sorry to hear that pal. If you speak to MB they will either do the job themselves or know somebody who will do it. For quick touch-up's on BMW's we use the silver paint and lacquer and you really can't tell the original coat was damaged, MB use a slightly different shade and you cant make a perfect match on the alloys using colors they sell for body touch-up.
