Lol. For a ding that small, I swear you won't even notice. Plastidip blends really well with black wheels. Just cover the surrounding area, spray like 2 coats...and your eyes won't be able to find where the chip was from 2 feet away. I'd show you before/after shots of my Enkei's...but it's too dark to take pics right now.

Same thing..just use a little more Plastidip. lol. Honestly, it's just a temporary fix. If it really bothers you...then take the wheels to get repaired locally. If it's just something minor that you want out of sight...you'll be fine with 2 sprays of Plasti.

@FRS-HHH this may also be a good idea. I sometimes talk about stuff like this like it's easy work but honestly there's a lot of labor and "art" that goes into this to make it all right. And, in a lot of cases you still wind up repainting the entire wheel to make it look right.

the thing is that the cheapest i found to fix the rims (2 of them need it) and to paint them all to match cost me $300 :/ just sounds like a lot haha maybe im just being cheap

Cool deal. I'm not entirely sure about that filler as I personally haven't used it but it's definitely worth a shot. If it doesn't turn out the way you want, do it again. It sucks sometimes to have to redo the work but this is how we learn best. I'll learn 10x the amount of information from a mistake as I might from a success any day.

Give me a day or two and I'll put together some info for you. It's honestly a lot of typing and reading but it'll save you some headaches.
