Black Rim Touch Up (First Scratch)

[JJameSS]

Well I have the Night Edition package with the 22" black rims. I was pulling through a tight drive thru and scratched up my back rim. I am sure yall have ran into this before? Curious what the best result fix would be?

I do this professionally. Would require a repaint. Contact your dealer, they likely have someone like myself

I was going to attempt it myself by sanding it with a high grit, wiping it down with some alcohol wipes, and then applying some of this flat black...

You're going to need more than a fine grit paper. I'd attack that with 80 on a 3in grinder to start

It’s satin black, don’t buy flat

It depends on which model you have. Limited Night Edition wheels are not even a true black, they are a very dark grey. And they are gloss.



OP didn't specify which model 1500 he has, but based on the pic, you're right that his are satin black.

Hmmm I have heard the Satin Black Rustoleum works and matches good.

Find a professional place and have them fix it. I did this to my limited wheel and it was $120 to fix.

LOL! That's what I do

I scratched mine within a week of owning. I did buy this and it works ... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00681T0MY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mopar has wheel repair kits.
We are still trying to figure out what color is the match for the laramie night edition wheels.
Black Noise is for the limited.
I think the low gloss black is correct.

I just used Testors 1137 on mine and it is a good match. I didnt prep it good enough so I am going to re sand and re paint when i have time.

You have a limited with 22'' night edition?

200 to refinish vs 1500ish to replace. I think that's pretty fair.

Full disclosure, that's a guesstimate on replacement cost based on industry standard average

No I have a Laramie with the flat black 22's. Which it looks like the OP has.
The black noise touch up was recommended in another thread, but that color is for the Limited night edition 22's I think.
I tried it on my Laramie wheels and it has some silver flake in it.
