That doc looks MUCH better.

Got a question for you. These wheels are easy enough to ding/gouge, especially about the outer rim (curb rash).

Do you know of a product that might be able to be used to fill these blemishes? Some kind of aluminumized JB Weld or something that can be finished out and polished before painting/clear coat?

Eastwood has what they call Lab Metal and it might work. But, I don't know what color it is.

Thanks. It took me a long time to get them, having accumulated them over most of my 65 years.
