you can sand it down yourself and repaint...

or send it to a shop

Thats what I am thinking. If your really worried about it....sand it down yourself and repaint all of your wheels the same color so that they match. You can try to get a color that is close to the original silver or go black, bronze, white, or the new trend....red

 

im not going red, i dont really wanna stand out that much. i wanted to paint them black w/ polished lip. so what would work best for sanding?

 

what grit would work best?

 

start with a rougher sandpaper and work your way to finer(bigger in number) paper

you can find info for wheels wetsanding/painting/clearcoating/etc in h-t.com

 

should i wet sand it?

highschool jewlery shops should have all the stuff you would need to fix scratches. sanding & polishing equipment. just ask the teacher the best way to fix it.

 

well i dont knoe to much about sanding. so what would be the best grit to start with? also should i sand the lip or no because my plan in to either go black with polished lip or all bronze
