painted rims curb rash

yesterday, mr.rim met mr.curb and got ****ed up around the edges. the rim is painted too so it twice as noticeable. anyone have a good diy to fix the curb rash and repaint the wheels. and do i just use the paint right on the rim or should i get a certain primer?

Its all about prep-work gunner. I would recommend you jack up your car and remove the wheels, sand everything well (sandblast if you can). Then paint them with dupli-color or any other brand that creates paint for wheels.

The previous owner on my vehicle has curb rash... well on every wheel basically. So like you I will be painting them over the winter as well. I have made a previous thread about painting (or repainting over the previous owner's) brake calipers. I hope you can use this as a reference to do your wheels, the same concept applies except with different paint.

I found that sand-blasting did the best job at removing the previous paint quickly and effectively, however I recommend that you sandpaper the rims after sand-blasting in order to smooth the metal out.

Painting Calipers
That's the forum thread I made about the brakes ---^

Primer doesn't hurt, but isn't necessary either. I won't be using primer for my wheels.
I do however recommend you add some clear-coat on top of the paint if you're going for a glossy look. Not only will it add more protection, but it will look nicer too.

You can always take it to a rim repair shop for you curbed rims, its usually 50-100. Not sure where your located though.
