Got some peeling spots, & I'd like to touch them up w/out dismounting the tire.
Need a close matching spray can---any ideas?

My Cobra R rims need touching up---is there a matching rattle can color?

If they're the silver color, I believe they're powder coated. It would be tough to match up a spray can color if you just want to do one or a few spots 
. Regular spray paint won't hold up as good over time compared to re-powder coating the wheels, but it'll do the trick for a while anyways.
My sister's bf did his rims on his Tiburon

Can I paint my polished aluminum rims with this stuff listed above?
Haha I'm serious though, cleaning these things sucks donkey balls

It'd flake badly off the polished wheels. You'd need to roughen up the surface by sanding with a light grit sandpaper... But that'd ruin the finish if you changed your mind.
I would say that you could use that but you would need to sand it thoroughly (as mentioned). Then you would need to spray the metal with an etching primer. Then you could spray the color on. If you are tired of polishing, I would recommend it. Better than nothing or leaving your wheels un-polished. You can always strip the paint and re-polish the wheels but it would take a bunch of work. Make sure it's what you want to do.
