Have managed to kerb the front nearside wheel of my LS 430 today - not serious but it has taken about 2 1/2 inches of laquer off the wheel right at the outer edge next to the tyre down to the metal - can this (should this) be touched up? What do I need to get - is there some sort of silver/grey sort of laquer for putting on like touch-up paint?

Hi, funny that, I had new refurbed wheels put on my IS200 when I bought it from main dealers, within the year they had started to bubble, I complained and got a new set of refurbed but in the transaction found that a company called Pristine, do all Lexus wheels for the dealers, on ringing them direct, the price is around the £70 bracket to refurb the IS ones which have a polished flat edge then laquered again, I went other places and they could not give this finish. So for a 17inch refurb as new £70 I thought was reasonable. By the time you have...errr, scuse me, bodged it, paid for the repair kit, paint, laquer and then made it look different, maybe give these guys the call first... Good Luck
