Curb Rash on rim.....HELP..
Hi,
My Wife decided to give 3 of the rims some curb rash. (I love the way the rims look but sticking out past the tire makes them hard to keep sweet). Anyway, I live in Toronto, Canada. Who is the best guy to fix up and paint the rims (either the whole rim or the area....not sure what they usually do). (Do they match the paint colour perfectly ?)
Any help would be much appreciated.

There are a couple of articles in the tech section...
on how to repair wheels. I used NASA Racers technique, and it worked pretty well. I had quite a lot of superficial damage to repair on a wheel that was off the car and had tipped over onto the curb. I redid my work a couple of times before I got the hang of it, but it's not hard. Just remember to do your repairs in a warm place. I used my kitchen. The paint and lacquer don't dry properly unless it is warm.
