But can you x ray the alloy repair as required dip then strip it powdercoat it to most colours (way better than paint IMHO)
The correct paint is not soft like powder and is less likely to be marked by brake dust or brake disc residue - IMHO  Silver TDV6 S with sat nav, PTI and Moosed up a bit

I was lead to beleive that normal aerasol would just absorb road filth, brake dust etc, let alone the heat tarnishing the wheel from brakes.
Sometimes cheap fixes lead to expensive repairs to sort out...... PERMANENTLY IN THE SITE NAUGHTY CORNER

If you don't seal it with clear coat, then it will tarnish. I've done a few wheels and it has been fine.

For a short-term fix as long as you laquer the paint it should be ok
Top Tip use a Hair dryer to cure the paint

I guess anything that can form a barrier between the paint/powder will help, if it contains a material like PTFE so much the better.
The main culprit these days seems to be the disc material rather than the pad material (although that contains copper and aluminum) the shards of the discs when they come into contact with the wheel surface tend to 'melt' into the surface. Silver TDV6 S with sat nav, PTI and Moosed up a bit
