Hi when sanding then around the edge do i need to sand it untill its really smooth ? the outside edge is quite bad though alot of marks very rough. Do i just keep sanding it untill they've gone. Will sanding it 2 much take the metal away or don't i need to worry about this.

if your painting mate then use normal car bodyfiller, rubbing down the metal would take fooking ages lol

Sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know of a good touch-up paint match for the standard wheel paint?
