DIY Alloy refurb / Touch up

[A3Kent]

Hi all,

Hopefully i've put this post in the correct place - feel free to move it if not.

I've got a couple of alloys with some slight curb damage on the inside of the rim. The fronts of the alloys are just fine so i don't want to pay for a proper refurb.

I have sanded down the damaged areas and now i've got a much nicer feel and look. I now just want to apply the paint but wondering the best solution and way to match the existing colour. I don't need to paint the whole inside of the alloy, just the areas effected.

Any suggestions on how to go about it and what paint/colour to use? Do i use a brush or shall i tape it up and spray the areas?

Where did you find this code......is it inside the wheel?

Strange...typed my VIN into the search function, but it says it's not recognised!

I wouldn't have thought that it's linked to the live system (It's not a genuine Audi site)
