Wet and Dry alloy repair pics

Same......
The Dremel comes in handy along with wet & dry followed by a compound with my mini DA.
It’ll do until I source a spare or go for aftermarket alloys.
I don’t think it’s just clear lacquer as the clear I used isn’t exactly the same as the rest.

Excellent results lads...especially through the tears of having to look at the damage..!
Well today was the day, 19,000 miles in 
Just ever so lightly tapped a tapered kerb.. dented the rim of the alloy.
Been to my painter he said the smaller two will be fine but the other is a good millimetre or so deep and if he flats that our chances are the shape of the rim in that area will have an obvious change. Told him to do the best he can... drop off next week, re-lacquer the whole face then.
2 sets of pictures, before I cleaned the dirt out and after.

A good wheel repairer will get all of that out and you’ll never notice it. Mine was far worse and even my detailer couldn’t spot anything once it was repaired.Well today was the day, 19,000 miles in
