Scraped wheel rim

[cwoernle]

I scraped my wheel rim on a curb. Can I file/sand it smooth and paint it? Where can I get the gray paint? I have the default wheels. Thanks.

You actually scrape the aero wheel cover, right?

If it gets bad enough, couldn't you have just replace that part? Just curious.

No, the part that is scraped in that pic (and the part that will typically get scraped, as it sticks out further) is the actual alloy. The aero cover is on the inside of the wheel only.

Oh, you're right. I guess I didn't see it closely. I would go with the touch up pen option that @Jedi2155 suggests then. Good luck!
