    On my way home last night another driver (to my left) drifted into my lane and I reacted by swerving right (into the curb of course).
    My tire scuffed a bit but my wheel 15" no wheel cover, hate 'em, got a little of the coating scraped off maybe an inch be a quarter of an inch.
    Anyone know how to best recoat this before the winter snows hit?
    Thanks in advance,:rolleyes:

    Do you have a touch-up paint kit from Toyota? The one with the paint in one end and the clear coat in the other end. Smooth it out and clear coat it. H

    Toyota classic silver touch up paint matches the wheel paint--available at dealer for under $10.

    Thank you both.
    It should be warmer tomorrow and I'll do it. I've got the Toyota clearcoat.
    Again thanks,
