Hi, i just got curb rash on my shiny new rims... damn it.... anyways i used 2000 grit sand paper and wet sand the lips and now it looks sorta ok but it still showing alot of hairline nicks but better than before... I want to somehow fill in those little gaps with something such as puddy and paint it chrome so it will match, is this possible???

Also the parts where i sand is now a bit hazy is there anything can use to polish it back to it;s luster???

Sorry i don;t have pics but i will try to ge some as soon as possible...

chrome paint is almost the 'brass ring' of paint technology. ALSA CORP pulled it off, but it's application is a biscuit, and even experienced paineters f it up. super expensive too.

I'd say clearcoat the area you sanded, and you should be good.

follow up with 3000 grit and then use a metal polish like nevr dull or soemthing.

I would say just try and see if the chrome paint matches before you put it on... and check some local tire shops that specialize in rims and they might be able to fix it pretty cheap.
