NEED HELP! black 10 spoke wheels PAINT

[mgaspari]

whats the closest paint match to the black zl1 10 spoke wheels?

Long story short, i messed up my one wheel. And me and my step dad are going to fix it. (I have the money to send it to a shop for 150 but my stepdad thinks we can do it, so might as well give it a try)
the rim has curb rash so were going to use some sand paper, bondo/putty and than paint. But the hardest part is painting it to match or blend in.

So pissed i messed it up, but it is what it is and ill learn from it.

Im not posting pics because it makes me sick looking at it

PLEASE HELP GUYS

yea i saw and they recommended to dupicolor universal black, but most of them used it for minor touch ups. This can be considered sorta major lol.

If it is that major I'd let a professional fix it

I say they should go for it. Worst case is it doesn't look right and they have pro do it.

i must say, it was actually a pretty fun experience(the fixing part). It only cost around 15 dollars(paint), everything else i had in the garage

Are you sure you aren't a pro? It looks great.

What paint did you use? Looks good. I need to do some repairs myself.
