Ghetto rim fix
I scratched up my rims pretty bad on a curb, I was wondering if I could do a ghetto fix and fill the scratches with some sort of body filler and paint over them using the same type of paint maz94 used (see gunmetal 90-91 thread) does it sound like it'll work or will I just make things worse? Just trying to save money since us college kids don't have a lot to spend. Also, anyone have any idea on what I could use for filler?

Only difference was the original paint had more of a shine even with the multiple coats of clear he applied but nobody could ever tell it had been fixed.

Yea, the pic isn't working so no pic here, sorry bout that, I'm guessing a mod will move it to the exterior or possibly wheel section? Sorry about the misplacement.02' Protege ES sedan w/ 03 refresh package, loaded with everything minus sunroof, 5 speed manual, red neons under seats to match red lighting on guage cluster/center consol *you can't hug children with nuclear arms*Comment
