Scraped wheel?? looking for paint???

Thought I would share my findings to help others in this predicament. I found this dupli-color high performance wheel coating in my basment I used when I redid a set of hub caps on my old Honda that IMO is an exact match. A little wet sand and buffing with 3M finishing material, shouldn't be able to tell anything happened. I will post completed pics when I finish.
Bought the paint at autozone a few years back.

Here are some pics of the wheel with paint already on. I didn't take pics of the road rash (scrape) sorry.

With Flash

Without flash but with flash light

Another spot before sanding. Just globed the paint on to fill in the scratch.

Dupli-color

Yea so far. Hope after the wet sand and buff it will be near impossible to find it again.
oh btw the pics are taken in Macro mode so your getting a very closeup shot.
