Hello from the USA 🇺🇸 after many years of watching your videos, here are some tips. For that dip scratches use body filler and sand it, apply the primer then when finishing (the primer) wet sand the whole rim with 1000 then 1500 then paint it. Don’t forget to couple of layers of clear coat.

Hello from Europe, good tips sir.. 3 years ago i went to refurbished a full set of 17 inch sized rims in Dymond cut (from my wife Hyundai Sorento because she curb-rash the rims pretty harsh) so because i wanted all to be equal i went at a local shop that had CNC machine and they fully strip the paint + repainted and machine them equal but it took them a full day to do it so they charged me about 1000 euro for all 4 rims (because the extensive details the work strip, repaint, machine Dymond cut refinish +VAT..etc) but when i got them back they did come out brand new so i thought it was a good deal.. Now after some years i had a chance to get my uncle car a 1973 Fiat 128 SL Coupe with double carburetors and with some cool Campagnolo rims quite similar looking to these so instead going to the shop again i think i will use your tips.. thanks a lot !

Thank you for your comment. Indeed when done in a shop, they have all profesional machines and the result will be different, but never the less, this can be done at home without breaking the bank, and no one will notice the difference. Take care
