Touching up Campagnolo wheels
Has anyone had experience touching up the coating and paint on these magnesium alloy wheels? I have looked up using a dichromate treatment on magnesium (Dow #19) and have sourced a small amount of Chromic Acid flake to make the Dow 19 solution. Overall the wheels are very good but there are a couple of spots that I want to protect from further corrosion and the back side of the wheels do need to be protected from galvanic corrosion with the rotors.
Also after I apply the treatment as a base coat, is there a closest match paint that would work as a touch up paint. One post stated that BMW Polaris Silver was a close match.
Thanks
