Curb rash repair: duplicolor vs wurth

[1.8cab]

I just finished doing spot repairs on my USP wheels. I tried a few different Duplicolor colors and Wurth wheel paint. After comparing both, I have to say that Wurth wheel paint is NOT worth it. To me, the spray cans just can not give you a factory finish. The colors are close enough and the curb rash is much less noticeable, but if you are really looking, you can tell. What's worse is that Wurth gives you a very rough finish, unlike Duplicolor. The bottom line is, Wurth is much more expensive ($20 vs $8) and has a terrible spray nozzle.

I have read several good reports about this stuff. No first hand knowledge though: Clicky click

You can't tell from pictures how rough the paint feels. Trust me the surface was like sand paper with Wurth, and I applied the paint the same way.

I was considering the 'other' german brand, but I just don't think you can get a factory finish from a spray can. Anyhow, the USPs are on the car and you can't really see the blemishes unless you're really looking.

did you use regular duplicolor paint or the special ones that are made for wheels?

I tried both duplicolor wheel paint and regular body paint. The metal flakes in the wheel paint don't match as well as the regular body paint.
