Scratch Repair on Spiders

[roseytvr]

Wheel rolled over and marked the finish on each spoke:roll eyes:

Doesn't seem enough to warrant a refurb so I am going to have a go at polishing it out myself if I can. Question is what type of finish is this likely to be - is the wheel powder coated with a lacquer finish that I can flat out and recover with lacquer? Any help appreciated on the best way to fix this.
Thanks

is it standard silver? (can't tell on photo) I did mine using alloy wheel spray off ebay and lacquered it. can only tell close up

Thanks for the response. The car is stormiest grey with what looks like very close matching alloys though I am not sure what colour the wheels are. Can I flat back powder coat, though I am not sure its actually damaged the powder coat - it may only be the lacquer thats marked

Mine are silver- easy match. I flatted mine, used filler stopper, paint, celly lacquer then flatted back and polished. if you had touch up paint for yours, may be able to brush it as its so small, then flat back.
what a lovely looking car btw!!

Thanks and thanks

assuming the wheels are the original TVR Anthracite I just need to source some paint!

Anyone?
