Buffing Rims?

Hey I have another quick question, I sort of, uh, well scraped one of my rims today -_-, I am sick and my equilibrium isnt perfect. Anyways, its not that bad, I'm wondering what I should do to fix this? I'm not to savvy with sanding and fixing things, meaning, I don't know what I need, but once I do I am usually pretty good at it I am willing to try to fix this myself, but I don't want to make it any worse, what do you people reccommend? BTW the wheels are silver painted, click here for them http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheel...fox_2_1000.jpg , any help would be appreciated im an idiot

Maybe you could find some touch up paint that will match? There are products that will remove the bubble that you usually get with though-up, though I dont remember any brand names. Then just wax and polish.

Just my .02

Any other ideas?

I was at the auto store (Autozone) the other week and they actually have Rim spray. I bought a can of it and tried it on an old Honda accord rim I have laying around. It was very easy to use and it worked out nice. I believe they have that color, but test it first. I think the can was about $4 or so. That might work? Duplicolor Wheel Paint is what it was I think.

Good luck with that.

take all four wheels off and get them powdercoated. They clean up with Windex afterwards and are extremely tough to scratch.

I will be doing this in the next few weeks. A friend had his truck done over a year ago and they look like new. He drives 100+ miles per day.
