road rash on my black wheels, repair?
Was at the bank to day and accidentally hit the concrete stupid areas that put you in the lane. Scratched and took off some black paint from the rear wheel. Any ideas to DIY fix or at least make it look acceptable?

I know it's ghetto, but I use sharpie marker to at least cover it up until I can take it to my wheel repair guy...

The perks of black wheels; never really looks dirty no matter how much brake dust, and minor curb rash is so easy to touch-up even with just a sharpie or better yet, black touch-up paint pen.

OP, there is no good DIY permanent fix. A car of this caliper, deserves it done professionally. My Masi wheels are only costing $250 each for complete repair and refinish of a very difficult satin black w/ silver metallic flecks.

sand very gently only the affected area, clean then apply this.. it will blend in nicely since its gloss..
