Title: Alloy wheel touch up
Post by: TomGTI on December 17, 2012, 09:53:09 am: I have the 18inch monza 2s but on 1 of the wheels i've notice what looks like a stone chip on the face of the alloy, it's only damaged the clear lacquer layer and the paint is fine underneath is there anything I can get to touch it up with using a small paint brush which isn't going to cost a bomb?

Thanks in advance

Yes from a VW dealer. Some VW dealers also do online sales on ebay but in my case it was much easier to just visit my local dealer.
