Been busy with work and haven’t had much of a chance to chime in.

However, so glad I didn’t spend the money to powder-coat my rims or get new ones until I can learn how to take on curbs or parallel parking!

This vehicle is so big and still getting used to it. ??‍♀

Ouch! That hurts.

I think my pride hurts more when my production crew see me take out the curb or the post effect. Counting down the time to get some new wheels with the rim edge guards - and new rims!

i just color it with a black sharpie marker , it sorta works

I’ll give that a shot. My black metal paint is at home and I won’t see that for another 5 weeks.

? I suppose it was mostly my fault for not liking my wheels or knowing how to park!

 

[stephanie25]

practice in a parking lot w the lines instead of curb , i did it. dont forget to use a black sharpie on it.
it takes the sting out of it till you get a new wheel or scratch it again lol

No I do not, but that's something to look for. How did you set this up?

And this curb was hit while in drive pulling out of a parking spot I backed into! ?

Anyone come across the correct color paint for these black wheels??

I found a gloss black paint for metal at a hobby store for a few bucks and it works great. Unfortunately, I am 400 miles from home where it is at...

Well, FUCK, and double FUCK!! Headed to breakfast before headed to the beach, hit a curb and BAM! Cut the sidewalk! Put a BIG time chip in those black wheels too boy! I’m so bummed!

Oh crap. This seems to happen to so many of us!
Are the tires we have just that much bigger or what is the deal?

Someone here suggested and I ordered from Amazon, a black touch up paint marker style pen. I have a one inch white spot showing on my driver side mirror. I know I've not hit anything, maybe its' a rock chip. I still have not touched it up, will do soon. But I wonder if that Honda black pen/marker would work on y'alls black rims? I have the grey rims on my Obs Blue Touring. Of course, just a thick, felt tipped, black sharpie should do well on those wheels, I'd guess.

For my wheels on the first hit - I got a bottle of black metallic paint for metal at a hobby store. My rims are so trashed now, it doesn't phase me so much. I am just waiting to replace the wheels and tires.
