Hey guys I just wanted to post this to show every one what you can do with a little bit of money and alot of patience.

This is just to show every one that you shouldn't just go out and spend alot of money on new mags you can fix your old ones and make them look even better than new.
Enjoy

You will need about $60.
I bought every thing I needed from super cheap.
2x cans of white enamel paint.
2x Primer.
1x Clear coat.
1xBody putty
And a range of rough and smooth sand paper.

If you could go into a bit of detail that would help.
A bit more about how you used the putty to fix the rash would be much appreciated.
any full pics of the car?

Buy some "water sand paper" which is usually used to take of the lekker from paint and try to sand just the clear coat off the wheels and if all went well just re-spray the clear coat.

If it doesn't go well you might have to do something like me but im sure your rims arn't as badly scratched as mine were.. well you can expect scratched rims if you buy your car from a model who drives with high heels Lol..

So we'll need some Wet and Dry sand paper to remove the lacquer (or clear coat). I think that's what he's getting at.
