Apologies if this belongs in the How To's & DIY section--looks like I didn't have the option to post there.
So I ended up with some curb rash on one of my Midnight Edition wheels. I'd like to try to repair it myself but had a couple questions for anyone who might have done this before:
1. Are those $20 kits on Amazon worth it? I'm leaning towards just buying sandpaper and paints myself because I just don't know about those kits.
2. Is there a specific paint color to look for? I would guess either a gloss black or black and then a clear coat gloss on top of that. But maybe Kia has a specific paint number to look for?
3. What is the difficultly level on this? I've never done this before so I definitely fall into the novice category, but I feel that after a couple Youtube tutorials I could figure it out.
I'd really appreciate any and all advice on this. Ideally I'd like to avoid paying someone else a couple hundred bucks if I could do it myself. Thanks!
