Rim Touch-up Paint?
I got my drop installed yesterday (woohoo!!) but the guy that did my install was not real careful about taking off & putting back on my lug nuts. So because of that I have some scratches inside the holes where the lugs go.
Anyone know of a site or store that has rim touch-up paint?
I emailed tirerack (where my rims are from) but I won't be able to check them until later.
Thanks for any info.....

It looks sweet, and handles very well 
Looks just like your drop Rick. I still may tweek the rear shocks a click or so, but the ride is better than I had hoped for.
When I went home for lunch I got the email from tirerack that said they don't sell touch-up paint, but any car touch-up paint that matches is good and then put on a clear coat on that.
I almost put my stock wheels back on the night before just to be sure something like this wouldn't happen to my rims.....but live and learn.
The good thing is the scratches are all inside the holes from the torque gun and there are no scratches at all on the outside face of the rims. If he just would have used a thin wall socket it wouldn't have happened
