Curbed rims

OK...I'll admit to curbing two rims since Winnie became part of my family in 4/03. Does anyone have experience with 'fixing' the appearance of the rim? Would a Dremel with a grinder/sander wheel make it smooth? And, where do I get touch-up paint to match the factory alloy wheel color? Thanks. Feel free to PM :smile:

You can try to repair small damage yourself.

If you have painted rims or other finishes you might be able to find touch up paint for wheels at:

I know they have quite a few finishes for Rota wheels.

For bigger damage try-

Before and after. Nice!
