Painted Aluminum Wheels with dings
I put a couple of small dings into my clear-coated aluminum wheels. Is there something I can use to touch up these spots so they don't begin to corrode?

Are they Painted Aluminum Wheels or Polished Aluminum Wheels that have been Clear Coated?

Ummm, I don't really know.......they're the factory wheels for a 2010 Camaro. The Web site says "Painted Aluminum Wheels", probably painted with clear coat.

look online to get a color code and try something like dr. colorchip or touchup paint and clear it. If the "small" chips are too deep you'll have have them repainted to have them look perfect again.

I didn't think Dr. Colorchip sold clearcoat touchup paint. Will check that on Monday.

what I said was either dr. colorchip OR touch up paint with the same color code and get a little bottle of clear coat to put on the plain touch up paint. If it's too deep you may have to build the paint back up and wet sand it like you would a deep chip/scratch on paint...

My wheels aren't painted with colored paint, they're just clear coated.

Painted aluminum wheels means they are exactly that......wheels that are made of aluminum that are painted...
A simple search on google like I suggested yields these results... the characters in bold are the color code
Midnight Silver Metallic (Wheel Color) WA263M
Black (Wheel Color) WA8555
Bavarian Silver Metallic (Wheel Color) WA9752

So you have what is called the polished aluminum on your Camaro. They're called polished aluminum, but they are clear coated. I have no idea why Chevy called them that. All you need to do is get some clear coat and touch it up. Walmart sells little cans of touch up clear coat. You might need to wetsand them down a little after you use it. I have the RS rims, and mine are painted aluminum. They're Midnight Silver Metallic. And can I ask which model of rims and Camaro you have so I know for sure?
