>>Sand the damaged lip with 80 or 100 grit sand paper (don't touch, even
lightly, the undamaged areas or you will scratch them). Sand until you
>>achieve the rounded contour. Continue the sanding pocess with 220 or 320
grit and finally with 500 grit. The wheels sand very easily.

>>Go to your automotive center that sells Plasti-Kote touch-up paint and get
a bottle of Toyota 3230 silver. It matches the 5 spoke wheel color
>>perfectly. You can apply clear over this but it is not necessary.
