Glen - do you know if PPS do 'touch ups'?

I took my winter wheels off on Sunday since it was the first day of spring.  I noticed one had a chip out of it inside the wheel.  The edges are all perfect, but there is a chip out of the coating about the size of a 5p which is white.
I thought they were supposed to be bulletproof?!

It seems a shame to have to get the tyre off and the whole wheel re-coated just for a tiny mark - especially when its barely visible.

I don't think you can touch them up.
It's re-coat...or paint it in with a similar coloured paint.

That's a shame then.  I don't know what's hit it, but its a big flake that's missing. 
I'll maybe send a photo of it to Keith tomorrow after I clean them up and see what he says.
As its in the middle of the inside of the wheel, a drop of paint might suffice - its more to protect the wheel than how it looks since you can't really see it.

Just stick a blob of (similar colour) hammerite on the chip, you won't be able to see it once it's on the car.
