Hi,

I have a couple of very small marks in the paint of some Enkei wheels and rather than a full refurb was wondering what paint it is best to buy to touch them in.

The wheels are a very bright silver, but I'm not that clued up when it comes to what best to use.

Google throws up various silvers described as Hyper, Super etc etc but I'm confused.

Any advice much appreciated,

Matt.

You'll really need to contact Enkei and ask them. Otherwise, have a chat with a few refurbers and see what they suggest.

Thanks PJ S, I have contacted Enkei but my Japanese isn't perfect so I'm not sure what sort of reply I should expect, if any.

I'll contact a refurber, although if any refurbers are reading this and have a bit of advice I'd be very grateful.

Matt.

Well theyre gonna say get them refurbed, are they not?


Bright silver TBH doesnt look that hot touched up. Get them painted (if they can replicate a similar colour) Or smart repaired if the damage is minimal.

NB If you go for smart repair, get someone by referral as its the only way to weed out the "undesirables" <<<< tryin to keep this reply polite. smile

Thanks for that, I was looking at that website but that is where the colour selection started to confuse me!

I've had no feedback from Enkei, which isn't that surprising, so I'm still pondering my options.
