Chipped Alloy :-( any advice?

[bubc]

Got a nasty stone chip on one of the inside faces of one of the spokes on front left alloy and its annoying the s&£t out of me! Any tips or advice for a self repair? Or is it just easier to get a specialist to refurb? I'm in Aberdeenshire so would welcome recommendations for alloy refurbers in the area, cheers.

Chips away mate, quick and simple.

A pic may help

touch up stick? or spray paint in the cap and use kitchen roll as a brush, this is also good for stone chips.

Cheers guys, should have taken a photo before coming back to work.......its about the size of a pinkie nail so think it'll have to be chips away or the likes

Used chips away in Aberdeen - i forget the guys name, but he did a decent enough job, this was on the rear bumper of one of my cars but it was silver, rocked up with colour charts (a la dulux style ) and matched it very close

There is the wheel specialist in Dyce - not used them personally but have heard generally good reviews - they might mix you up a colour match tin or advise - likely they'll try and sell you on a full refurb.

I recently got a tin from Paints4u for a couple tiny stone chips - they might be able to sort you something depending if there is a paint code for your wheels or a very near general colour
