Curb Rash
Hit my left front wheel trying ot move closer to a curb in a friends driveway to make room for others. Left a 3 inch gash in the rim. Took peoples advice here and got the GM435 paint at Canadian tire. Digi-color I belive it's called. Filled the scrathes with a primer then whiped the excess off. filled it then with the Light grey metallic paint, which is ever so slightly darker then the stock rims. THen wet sanded it with 400 grit, lightly. Very smooth. Then put one more coat of paint over the effected area and 1 more very light wet sand then covered with clear. Came out quite well. It won't ever be perfect but compared to how pissed I was last night it came out very well.
