Re: Repair damaged copper wheel trim?

Update on this: ended up not getting the touch up paint. Got in touch with the seller who issued a refund on account of "I don't think its going to get to your location." (Portugal). So, back to square 1 :(. My touch up paint arrived today in Portugal. However, since it came from the UK (...

Re: Repair damaged copper wheel trim?

Do you have a link? I searched https://xtremeautoaccessories.co.uk/ and couldn't find the right paint :( https://ww...
