Hi! I have the standard Mercedes 5 spoke 17" wheels and I just noticed a scratch at the edge of the rim that I would like to fix.

It's not that big but I'd love to get it fixed. What is usually done to fix such scratches? Is that something I can do with touch up paint and if so where can I get the appropriate touch up paint to match the silver wheel color?

Tried to delete above, but the full link won't take and it won't delete. Anyway, there are several threads in this forum. Body putty + Wurth silver paint.

It is such a small area that I am nervous using a spray paint. Does it come in a version with a tiny brush where I can fill in the small area?

Can your local MB dealer recommend a good, local rim repair jobber? From what I've seen, they can fix wheels (including paint) for not much money.

Okay so I looked at the wheels standing up and I can hardly tell where the scratch is so I think I'm good for now. I would still like to find a reasonable place for fixing scratched wheels in the Maryland/DC area sometime though as it might be something to do every year or so to make sure the wheels look clean and not obsess over every tiny nick and scratch.

I need to stop getting so upset over scratches I can only see when I'm only a few inches from the car...

Like someone said a while ago, if you can't see it from 5 feet away, it does not exist
