Scuffed Wheels

Had to swerve out of the way due to a driver that didn't do a great job looking in their blindspot and scuffed my wheels. it isn't terrible, but I'd like to find a way to repair this on my own.

Found a great post for self-repair:
http://www.bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/w...uff-repair.htm

I know I can easily pick up thinner and sandpaper at a hardware store, but where is the best place to pick up the rest (listed below)? I tried Amazon, but they don't have the Wurth wheel paint and clear coat.

- can of scratch-filler primer (Duplicolor Filler Primer is pictured),
- the WURTH wheel paint and clear (got mine at Performance Products),
- Bondo spot putty (or equivalent)

I'm definitely willing to stop by an AutoZone or other local auto store.

Thanks for the tips in advance.

Wolf

I wouldn't go the DIY route. Spend the money to get them refinished by a professional.
