My girlfriend (possibly not for much longer) nudged the curb with the rim of my 2007 TSX and scratched the rim.

Looks like the powder coating is scraped off as it is scraped down to a black surface. If I could touch it up with some silver-esque paint to match the rim it wouldn't be so noticable. Any ideas?

 

If it really bothers you, you could have the rims refinished. I bought my A spec rims for $200 and they looked like they had been attacked by an animal. I paid $75 a piece for refinishing and you cant tell there was ever a problem. I also had them darkened to a carbon gray/ anthracite finish.

 

It's only about an 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide. I was hoping to wait to refinish it until I hit the curb a few times (really get my monies worth).

$75 to refinish a rim? Good deal.

 

Two of my TL wheels were repaired before I bought them and here is where it was done. Dunno how far it is from ya. They might be able to help. It cost $160 to repair two.
