Curb rash!
 
So I cub rashed one of my stock 17" rims on my 2009 IS250 a little bit, probably about 4 inches along the edge. So i searched around on how to go about fixing it, mainly it's just body fill stuff and paint it. I also saw one where a guy used J-B Weld to fill in the curb rash, seemed to work for him. So, i was thinking about using J-B weld cuz it seems to be a bit cleaner. So, for the painting step, i want the paint to match of course... does anybody know what paint i should be using?

Thanks

Well I'm in Canada so that's not really an option. There are a couple places that will re finish the wheel but they want $200, doesn't matter how big or small the rash is.

You can always move to the U.S. :D

I also heard the sickening sound of curb rash at 6:00 this morning. Since I haven't hit a curb in over 20 years I'm going to say that is too early to be driving near curbs! :)

My 09 is a lease, so I'm going to keep the stock rims. No way I'll be able to stand seeing those chew marks on the edge of that rim, so I'm going to have to clean it up and do a little repair myself. Like the OP asked, does anyone know what paint matches these rims?

I know the Lexus touch up paint Tungsten pearl 1G1 matches my '08 rims really good. Dont know if your rims are anywhere near the same color of mine. I've got 10 spoke/17's
