Default Wheels refinished

The moment when your just feeling the car a little bit too much and turn too sharp and hit the curb.. Well that happened to me so I decided to take on a new project..
Before:



This was already sanded and then I remembered that I shouldve done a post





This is something you can expect

After:



Color looks a bit light, we'll see how it looks after it cures the next day








Can't get better than this, pretty satisfied for my first try

So if you guys want il do a step by step Diy with pictures once the sun comes out so that I can take better pictures.

1E3 is an exact match just make sure spray the clear on not too thick but not too thin.

Nice job on the repair - just so I am clear, you fixed this section of the wheel right?
