DIY Wheel refurb (pics)
Got some wheel paint and have begun refurbishing the one wheel on my car that has curbing. Very pleased with the results so far.

Before:


After:


This section of the wheel needs another coat. There was another part that had a massive chip that was filled with brake dust that was stuck on, I couldn't scrub it off, so it's been painted over and looked fine now!

i did a rear one and it looked good, you have to look very hard to see it. the other 3 are way past my capabilities.
