What's the best way to tidy up these marks?

Pics of my front alloys

So instead of paying over £100 to refurb both alloys, whats the easiest way to tidy up these marks myself?

As you can see from one of the pics, one of the previous owners has tried to fix them by putting some sort of paste over them, which makes it look worse!

Are these fixable without redoing to entire alloys?

you can get a touch up stick on them but it will look bad. refurb them yourself mate.

I guess I could give it ago. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?!!

I assume I would obviously have to refurb all 4, as I would never get the colours to match?

How hard is it to do? Ive had a look at the guides, and it looks pretty straight forward. But then I have NO diy experience, and I really wouldnt want to screw it up!

You could maybe try it on the alloy that's scuffed most, as it would need refurbed anyway. Once you have perfected it, do the rest the same

I suppose one advantage is that I could choose what colours I want the wheels. I always think black looks pretty neat, but Im not sure on mine

I really like my alloys at the moment, as they're sort of a dark grey, and not bright silver.

How can I find out the paint code of my alloys?

In addition to what the thread says some people use Peugeot or Rover colours that are close so worth doing a bit more searching on here.

that looks bloody good! matt black of graphite grey it looks like. dont think gloss black would look as good though :nono: i'm in the process of refurbing my alloys and you can just sand those chips/kurbing marks out, piece of piss once you know how to do it properly
