Default Need help with my wheels.

Hey, two of my rims are all scraped up and I was wondering what brand of powder coating (matte black for color) or what can I do to make them go back to all black? I'm not using sharpie. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Here's a pic:

do you have a better pic by any chance?

when you say what brand of powder coating, what do you have in mind? are you going to powder coat them yourself?

I personally recommend "sharpie" brand products for ALL of my "fill in my ****ty chipped black ****" needs! haha but seriously... I'd take it somewhere. I really would have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to painting wheels... but thats just me...

You might be able to try enamel hobby paint.. but that might just be temporary.

I can get a better picture tomorrow. I would like to powder coat or what ever it is myself first to save some dough.

Haha, if that is my only option, I might as well...

Possibly, but I would like it permanent though. Any other suggestions?


To all, thanks for your suggestions so far - keep it coming!

I actually know someone who carries around a black king size sharpie in their car for when their black trim chips. Every time he breaks it out Im just like "...dude... seriously???" and he always says "dont judge me..." hahaa it cracks me up. But then again, he drives a bimmer, so whatever floats his boat!!!
