Hi folks, I've bits of white worm on one of my alloys , has anyone got a link or know of a touch up paint ,as close to cut aluminium/ chrome. Tia.
 
There isnt as such, the white is caused by oxidisation of the aluminium due to water getting between it and the laquer.

Best can do is sand off the crusty lacquer and then polish the aluminium but at that point you would be better off getting it refurbed...

That's something for later , for now , I'll just touch it up. I've already rubbed out the rot. I'll be dabbing some high gloss silver on or aluminium paint for now.
