I have a nissan maxima 96 with 18inch alloy rims. Last night i scratched the front right rim. I went to home depot to buy sand paper and a paint to repair it myself but no one knew which paint was the was the right one for the rim. Anyone knows what paint might work for the rim?

thnx

Damn good question. I wish I had know when I first bough my Max, and spent $120 on new center caps for my 97 SE rims; because the originals had peeled.

All that's saying is that the color is a 100% match for the original color for wheels from those brands. There's no reason you couldn't use it on your Maxima wheel, it just might not match perfectly. Or it might work great.From the pictures, it looks VERY close. I'd say it's worth a try.
