Suggestions to touch-up alloy wheels? V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Ram Gopalkrishnan on  Sun Dec 3 13:58 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Folks,

Recently I had to install 2 new tires owing to an unrepairable gash in one of the original Michelins. Today I washed the car for the first time since then and noticed that the original wheel weights have left ugly marks on the alloys. While one wheel looks like it will come clean with a determined scrubbing, it is pretty clear that the paint layer on the other wheel has been damaged.

Any suggestions on how I might touch this up? Does Volvo (or anyone else) make a wheel touchup paint similar to the body touchup sticks? This is not worth professional wheel refinishing but it would be nice to do something to hide the marks.

Thanks for any advice...
