Lenso Rims Scratch

[Mick]

Hello i was pumping up my tyre and i noticed what looked like black paint or like someone has drawn a line with a black permanent marker on the chrome lip of my rim, it is shiny and black does not feel like a scratch cos if i run my finger over it i carnt feel it at all but it looks like a black mark on the chrome lip, the lip is also slightly dipped in so if i got too close to something the scratch would be on the bit that sticks out more and not the bit that dips in, i tried to clean it with solvents and then with polish but nothing removes it. And i just dont understand why it is black for cos it is on chrome and as i said you carnt feel it at all running your finger over it, so does anyone know why it is like this? and how do i fix it

I'd say its painted chrome which is usually painted over a black base ,in which case the paint has scuffed through....I have a wheel the same, is painted black chrome...you can't really fix it though you could try repaint the area, it might come up ok.

btw the way carnt is not a word, the word is Can't , its an abbreviation for can not

lol and i now know what the black is, it bugged me on how it hot in the lip cos the lip is dipped in on the middle and i have worked it out, it is not paint that came off and black under it, someone had rubbed there tyre onto my rim and that is rubber transfer cos it can be scratched off with an abrasive and its chrome under it but no solvent will touch it at all for some reason, and using abrasive will take the clear coat off which im not worried about cos i have white stone chips all over the clear anyways so looks like i have to polish all the clear coat off all the chrome and thats a massive job
