whatever your gonna do either touch up or body shop i would do it quick cuz it looks like it went down to the metal and will probably start to rust if it sits long enough

Well, if you want to go the on the "budget" route, take high grit sand paper to it to smooth out the surface. Light primer and oem paint, and make sure to blend the paint to the outside. I wouldn't suggest you do it but if you're on a tight budget go for it. Can't grantee it'll look perfect though.

ALSO...That particular paint works well if you have minor scratches on your factory rims...

A buffer ain't going to do much... You need to smooth it out with some sand paper... I would start with 1000 grit and work your way to 1500 or 2000 grit this is with water , you took some paint of so after you smooth everything out fill the spots with no paint with the touch up and let dry real good after that you take some 2000 grit sandpaper and water to blend in the touch up and then you buff it to a shine and it will hide pretty good... You will need to get real close to see it

Never mind... Didn't see the 2nd page but you should hade it sanded before the touch up paint was applied then sanded again to blend and last a buff.
