I have a set of black Enkei TS10's. I have curb rash on one of the rims, and small but noticeable gouges on 2 other rims (shitty NYC roads). Sorry no pics, but the damage is not bad. The wheels are not bent. What I'm thinking of doing is cleaning the wheels properly, sanding the gouges, using bondo filler on the curb rash and gouges, sanding it again, cleaning all the wheels again, and lastly Plasti Dipping them 4 coats of standard black + 4 coats of turquoise silver (I'm bored of the black wheels).

I've seen posts where people had stock rims and used a primer after the bondo / sanding, but I don't even know where to start with a primer. Which one? Would it really make a difference when I'm gonna PlastiDip the wheels anyway?

So, any advice?
