Then you can use real paint. The gun is small, but it's all you need for smaller jobs. The same for the compressor, and you'll never have to go looking for a gas station that still has an air pump again to fill your tires. This is where I get my paint:

If you don't want to go the sprayer/compressor route their spray bombs work well too.
Hey Bill, the problem is in matching paint which is a problem with bmw wheels. Its like this big secret as to the paint code for the wheels. The Wurth paint is a match and does not discolor over time--I have matched with model paint but it turns dark after a few weeks. I like to DIY...but this one seems not possible when the "tools" are impossible.
