Well mine are not dipped there spray painted and clearcoated but its the same process. The important thing is to prep the wheels by cleaning them and removing any chemicals on the wheels using alcohol wipes. then just use light coats and take your time. Checkout youtube also many instructional videos on there

I always park the furthest possible spot, especially at Wal-marts just because of the type of customers they attract.

I wouldn't recommend putting on side skirts without fixing the damage. Especially if there's any chance of rust developing. Can't you go through insurance for something like this?

Are you positive it happened in the lot? Hard to say what caused that, looks more like curb rash. However, we've all seen weirder shit...

I brought the exact color online for spray paint I also brought clearcoat, and rubbing compound. I cleaned the area really good and wet sanded the area and just used light coats about 5 coats and 4 coats of clearcoat then I used rubbing compound to smooth the surface
