Rear Wheel/Rim Cosmetic Damage

[Axel F]

Hi all

This is my first post and feel slightly guilty it has took me a few monts to get my hand out of my pocket and subscribe. I own the Alpine White F800gs (adventure spec crash bars, BMW Bash plate, Touratech rear rack, BMW handguards.
Anyway I would appreciate it if any one could offer me some advice on how to touch up cosmetic damage on the rear wheel, best paint match, spray, touch up pens etc, managed to get it stuck in a narrow rut with back wheel spinning against a a sharp stone edge, just caused a few score marks around the rim.

Thanks

First of all don't worry about it ...

Second of all, if you must, then a Sharpie marker will help conceal your embarrassment ..

Personally I wouldn't worry but PJ1 spray paint is good. You can get it from Bike-Gear in Ashton-under-lyne

Wait till you've had a tyre replaced, then you'll see rim damage!

Thanks for replies
everywherevirtually only live 2 mins away from Bike gear Ashton so will pop down and buy a tin of pj1, I imagine it will work for crash bars aswell when they eventually need a touch up
