    Thought about what I should use for the title and this all I could come up with.

    Was looking at my truck the other day and notice that there was something shinny on the wheel. When i went and looked I notiched that the paint had been removed. Think it may have happened when I took in for the fuel pump recall but don't know for sure. Calling my service rep today and see what he says when i mention it to him.

    Does anyone know if I could fix this?

    It probably can be fixed by a professional. There are many companies out there that do alloy wheel repair/refurbishment. I had my wheels "remanufactured" last summer by AWRS (Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists). They have shops nation wide, and many of them have mobile units that can come to you to do the work. https://www.awrswheelrepair.com/

    I chipped a black 6GR front wheel on another vehicle I had, used high quality black gloss fingernail polish. Less that 10 bucks and was hard to notice.

    I've been thinking about just touching it up but they're the matte black TRD Pro SEMA wheels. Not sure if I can find anything that will be a close match to that. Going to reach out to the company @Rocketball recommended and see what that will cost.
