Alright like last 2 weeks ago i bought some GTP rims off ebay knowing they had curb rash on them and one of the rims had a pretty bad gouge in it.

i got all the curb rash out that i could and ended up with this

i'm open to suggestions on how to get the rim looking uniform but dont know if i should try a gray paint or what. I have thought about just painting the entire set of rims black but they are just a winter set of rims so i dont know if i want to put that much time in to it.

thanks 04widetrackgt2, and are u saying to sand the entire rim down? bc i think they have powder coat that i sanded down and now there is a patch where i sanded it down to the aluminum and I dont know how to mask it up to match the powder coat.

i dont think they are just clear coated bc i sprayed a layer of clear coat on the areas i sanded down and the color didnt change. thats what makes me think there is some sort of powder coat on them
