Somehow managed chip one of my rear alloys. It's only a minor scratch really on the outer rim (black alloys from an Exige) but I'd like to fix it before any more damage is done. The coating doesn't seem to be paint only, right?

I think you'll find they are powder coated, but paint will touch it in. I chipped mine with a torque wrench on day 1 and touched it in with a bit of satin hammerite. Still fine a year on.

yes Hammerite is your friend for a quick fix. If you're an absolute perfectionist you'll get chipsaway or another local company to do it for about 50 notes.....
