I have two wheels that were ground into a curb and were scraped up pretty badly. I ordered the Wurth wheel paint, clear coat and all the other materials(obtained list from AW). I prepped the wheel as instructed and did all the putty and sanding work. I then started painting and found that this paint does not exactly match. It has a slightly darker and duller finish. I applied the clear coat hoping that this may help achieve the desired results - it did not.
I am convinced that everything was done correctly and it is simply a matter of the paint not matching.
Now I have one wheel that is two-tone and one that is scraped to hell. The way I look at it I am going to have to repaint all the wheels (wurth paint) or take them and have them professionally done. I have been told that to have a wheel repaired and repainted correctly it is pretty costly.
Has anyone else ever done this to their wheels, and what were your results?
Suggestions?

Mindtrip just did one of his wheels over the weekend with LI-S4. Send one of them an email.

Might want to just spend the 300 bucks and get a brand new one.

Man that was quick....

but if I was buying an s4 from you, and I found out that the rims was repainted and doesn't match the stock rims, then I'd be pissed. Just my 2 cents.

Might be worth forking over the dough for two new rims and try to get it in the selling price.
