Wheel clear coat
Wheel clear coat
I hope this is the correct place to post this. I bought a set of Lariat split spoke wheels and tires on eBay and picked them up while traveling to Miami for some work related training. I could kick myself but I didn't secure them in my work van and as it turned out, one of them was rubbing against a piece of metal. It left several (8 or10) gouges, each about 1/16" in an area of about 2"x2". It is in the painted section of the spokes.
My question is this, where can I buy tan touch up paint for the spokes? I think that I might be satisfied if I just clear coat the damaged area if I can't find the tan touch up paint.
Thanks in advance.

You will want to get clear over the metal, if not over the paint. Otherwise, you'll start seeign a nasty green corrosion taking olace that works its way around the rim.
I filled the gouges with the Arizona Beige from the touchup, let it dry for a week or so and then used 600 grit wet sandpaper to bring it all to the same level. I then used the Arizon Beige spray over the damaged area and faded it in to the existing paint. I then used the clear spray. It turned out great. The color is just a shade off but it looks much better than before.
The can said to rub out with compound. Maybe in a week or so I'll do that.
Thanks for your tips!
