    Hi all, have a couple of small edge chips on my 308 QV wheels from a recent tire install. Any advice on a good DIY filler to use?

    Chips in the paint or gouges in the metal?

    paint mostly and I bought some touch up paint from paintscratch, there is one small chip in the metal however that I’m looking to fill before I touch up.

    You know, once upon a time when 99% of the cars had steel wheels and hub caps that was kind of acceptable. In the modern era with most cars having some kind of alloy wheel and modern tire changing equipment thats not acceptable. Its just too easy to change a tire without the machine touching the wheel. Did they offer to have it repaired? Its sloppy work with no excuse.

    Mine had a few of those as well. I used normal (red) bodyshop spot filler and then the Paintscratch touchup. Looks decent but next time I'd use an airbrush.
