I have hyper black painted rims on my 97 volvo 850. I noticed that a small chip of paint has come off of the wheel. I had not scratched it on anything, and I therefore believe that it is a result of improperly applying the paint by the manufacturer. Regardless, it is only a small bit of paint and I am trying to figure out the best way to repair it. One of my friends suggested using some high gloss model paint to repair the small patch missing. I am looking for any suggestions that can help me to make my wheel look correct. Any input will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

 

Is this an OEM wheel with OEM color paint?

It is not an OEM wheel. It is a Nitza Addagio Hyper Black Gloss 18 inch wheel. If you click on the camera next to my username it will show you a picture of my car with the rims, (sorry its out of focus, i snapped it with my picture phone). I will check the links you suggested, thanks.
