Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just purchased a used set of Carrera Lightweight wheels (Boxster width & offset), and they have some minor nicks in the paint, as well as a bit of curb rash on one wheel. Does anyone know of a source for touch-up paint for these wheels? I don't want to re-paint the whole wheel - just carefully dab some paint into the scratches.

POST 2Original post

Wurth wheel paint

Here is another one http://www.bavauto.com/fland.asp?part=APP%20WHEEL1&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googlebase&utm_source=APP%20WHEEL1

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That paint pen is pretty cool!

POST 5Original post

The key to using the spray or the pen is to shake them until your arm falls off! The metallic paint will not match at all unless you get all the flake into suspension.

POST 6Original post

April 09 issue of Excellence has a nice piece on spray can repairs for Porsche wheels. Wurth's and Dupli-Color "both worked well." Wurth's was "amazing." Wurth's paints have a long history a great results. I agree with those who recommended them.

POST 7Original post

Thats peculiar...Wurth. About a year & a half ago Wurth was completely yanked from of the shelves in North America, some class action thing. You just couldn't get it. Z Silber (yes silBer) was the only game in town. I think I used Wurth for the clear though. I cant tell the diff. Regards, PK

POST 8Original post

Don't know where you got your in formation, but Wurth has been available continuously for the past 20 yrs. In fact, exactly 1.5 yrs. ago I got some Wurth paint sourced w/i the US for painting the wheels of another car I own... and you can still buy it today.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
