HELP! How to Touch-up VMR's
Any suggestions for touching-up minor chipping in a set of
Hypersilver VMR 710's? What would you use (Product/color/applicator type) ? Where would you get it? |

I was just about to ask the same question. I don't think the vendors carry the paint since they only sell wheels which are imported. Right now, i'm trying to fixing a damn curb mark that the dealer made. I sanded it down and bondoed back the shape. Everything is fine except the color that I bought was off. ( rust-oleum was too sparkly and a little too dark ) I just bought wurth's paint, supposedly it matches all German wheel colors, I don't know about VMR color though, hopefully it'll blend somehow. And just a note, if you can't match the paint, use a lighter color since it'll be less noticeable. Lastly, I read up on hyper silver paint and that it is illegal to import it to the US which is why it's impossible to find. I got before pictures but I'll post em up with the after pics after i'm done this week. Wish me luck

my son got a curb rash the first hour after having our new rims installed on my last car..Hyperblack....i called a few places for a fix and found a great repair dude who fixes wheels as well as matching the paint....I found him through my local Honda dealer...turns out in most areas dealerships have techs t hat come around and do paintless dent repair as well as rim repair...check a couple local GOOD dealerships for the tech they use to repair alloy rims and give him/her a call and request some paint or slip him $25 bucks to repaint it for you if needed...It generally comes out well and matches the original color...as this is there specialty and they have done hundreds of repairs and no how to match the paint if needed...
But VMR may be able to send you a touch up kit, but you might have to wait a bit... |

It's been a couple days since I've applied rustoleum wheel paint. The sparkles arent that sparkly anymore and i can't find the curb mark unless I looked for it. I'm still waiting on the wurth paint though and I'll test it on a piece of plastic before applying. BTW, does anyone know how to remove paint from the wheels without removing the clearcoated paint? is there a solvent that does this?

We do have some paint pens to touch up gunmetal, and the hypersilver touch up paint is still in development. If you don't mind waiting, these should be available within the next month or so. Thanks

We've got them
Sorry about the lack of communication but this was received very recently and we have not released an 'official' announcement yet because the touch up pens and paint haven't been assembled or filled yet. Please send me over a PM and I'll get everything started for you Peter |
