Curb rash repair

[jmills94]

Hey everyone, I posted this in the "wax, wash, detailing," etc. forum but I'm not sure if that was the correct location.

Anyway, I'm going to try and fill in a gash on the edge of my wheel, and was hoping somebody could tell me the best paint and primer to use in order to match the wheel color and finish. I have the glossy black OEM wheels.

Thanks!

I too would like to know what the color is because, IMO, it is not absolute black... it's almost a "charcoal". I am looking to farm mine out to someone who can repair my curb rash while my winter setup is on. If I knew the color I could do it myself. I went to the dealer to see if there was a color code but they were not helpful.

UA/Ebony is the paint color for the premium black wheels

I've had good luck using Quick Color Gloss Black spray enamel (J2851) that I had on the shelf from some previous project. I used a small water color brush to slowly apply in layers; often dabbing to fill in paint chips which helps to blend in with the existing paint edge.
