eas Bronze Metallic finish touch up?

Hocky · 03-25-2011, 03:24 PM

I recently picked up a set of used VMR wheels with the eas Bronze Metallic powder coating and the finish is in rougher condition than I expected, but I don't want to recoat them this season. Has anyone used any sort of off the shelf touch up or hobby/model paint to touch up some small spots on the wheel in this color? I am not looking for anything perfect, obviously that isn't going to happen. I just want to hide the exposed silver and keep the chips from spreading.

Running by your local auto repair shop to find a similar finish would be the best best. Since it is a custom finish, it may be tough.

Yea - I actually spent some time at a local hobby shop and found something that seems "close," just a bit lighter/more brown. I am going to give it a try and see how it works.
