If your car’s tires are especially dirty, you may need to clean them entirely before you fix the damage.
Wear gloves and a respirator while handling paint thinner as a safety precaution.
Wipe off any dust from the sandpaper with a dry cloth.
Try to keep the spot putty within the damaged area, as applying it to flat, non-damaged areas can create unsightly bumps.
Paint in a well-ventilated area to further avoid irritation.
Only the damaged areas should remain uncovered, as you don’t need to paint the entire rim.
For exact drying times, consult your paint’s instructions.
Do not touch the paint between coats.
