So when I bought the car, all 4 wheels were curb rashed all the way around. Well 1 year later I finally get to addressing this issue. So I picked up 2 of the lighter silver wheels. I sanded them down, sanded the few scratches out and primed the 2. I gave about 3 coats of primer. Then i used scotch brite to scuff the primer. Gave 4 coats of Rustoleum Graphite Wheel paint. Let them dry over night, then 2 coats of clear. This is what they look like. Now I have to fix the other 2 wheels I took off the car.

The color is just a bit darker then the dark gunmetal that was on my car. Looks killer with no curb rash.
 
great work look awesome! i opted out of this and was lazy just bought new ones 2 weeks ago planned to powder coat them for 2 months you see how far that got lol
 
I need to do this to my wheels. The paint is chipping off in some places and has some small curb damage. I did not buy one of the MSP's I looked at because of the damage to the wheels looked so bad. The passenger side wheels had damage all the way around them. I walked around to that side of the car and saw that and I did not even bother taking the car for a test drive.
 
All 4 were curbed all the way around bad, wtf do you know how to park lmao. I never hit a curb unless im driving over it with my truck
