My amateur curb rash repair

[HorizonsEdge]

First time doing something like this. I decided to go a bit further than just using a black marker so I sanded with 400/600/1000 sadly I couldn't get out some of the deeper nicks. Definitely could have used some filler.

Paint: Dupli-Color Wheel Paint, Satin, Black
Clear : Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Clear Topcoat Spray, Dead Flat

For me it was good enough even though I know I could do better given a second chance.
Other positive, I got to use my full sized spare I bought off FB while I waited for the paint to cure

Good job. I had to look very carefully to see any difference between the repaired part and the rest of the rim.

Same, these are great results and a step up from the Sharpie treatment.

Looks good!
Use automotive spot putty to fill scratches if it still bothers you, but you'll be the only person to know it's been repaired anyway.
