^go get a can of paint and something to paint and practice on. It won't take that long to figure out how the best way to paint is. Few coats max

I'm wondering about fixing imperfections myself. I have a few deep scratches. Start with a 100-200 grit first?

Thanks Executionerhk. All I did was spray paint them with paint made to go on rims. It does eventually chip, but I just repaint them when I need to.

did you do all four together?
and how long you let it dry before you put the wheels back on?
