From the pictures I doubt the rim got bent or anything that requires professional work. If you're willing to do the work yourself, you will need some Phantom Gray Pearl Metallic (Toyota 1E3) touch-up paint
+1... I have this same touch up paint and wheels look new again.

I used 3M Automotive Acrylic Plus to attach it to the car, but couldnt find how long it takes to really set, so anyone have any clue?

Plasti dip front grill, which needs to be redone as it peeled a tiny bit after the last wash and wax, the extra bit on the left in the pic just needed an exacto knife to remove


Plasti dipped rear emblems




Next up will be exhaust and headers just can't do it now as I'm in the process of looking for a house to buy and about to change jobs with a big pay increase
Plasti dip looks great. I did the same to my rear emblems, also noticed the blue around your F emblem is slightly chipped, is this a common problem as mine is the same?
Did you remove grille to plasti dip or do it on car?

Yeah that blue chip pissed me off, will need to get some touch up paint but not sure of the exact color. I did all the plasti dip on the car, shoved a bunch of news paper behind the grill and taped it to it so none would go through and get on the radiator. I plan on redoing it as it has some imperfections after letting someone else wash and wax my car so I will pull it off one of these days and high pressure wash it all off and then dip it instead of spray it next time.
