It was just a matter of time before the wife curbed it. LOL

Anyways, thought I'd try and fix it. Not perfect, but better than a silver scratch. If I spend more time on it, I could have gotten it a little bit better. But because these will eventually be the winter wheels, I didn't care as much. I think 22s are in the works!

Edit: paint I used was from TouchUpDirect Yamaha Matte Black. (Yam008)

About a foot long curb rash.

Used the sanding drum to smooth out the scratch.

Smoothed out as much as possible without taking too much material out.

Mixed up some body filler for the deep scratches.

All sanding down and smooth as possible.
