scraped rims help
Hi
last night managed to scarape two rims against a kerb on a tight driveway was wondering if anyone can recommend any way to cover up the marks its just on the thin lips but the wheels are anthracite. Is there any way of smothing them down and what can you paint on to cover them to match wheel any ideas or should I just accept that scratched rims are just a fact of life

Get them done professionally if it bothers you.
Personally I'd wait until they're a bit more scuffed then get 'em done. Usually about £50 per wheel.

Then mask off everything else just leaving the outer rim Exposed, Then Spary & lacquer, hardest part is getting a good paint match for wheels
Depending on the style of the wheels & only having the edge painted, You may get away with a slight mismatch in colour
