Hey last nite my left rear alloy said hello to a low brick wall, and has substantial scrapes on 3 of the spokes 
Its not deep, it just looks like its taken the laquer off (I'll get some pics up later for a better idea)
Any ideas of how i can fix it? It looks like it just needs respraying, are there any kits that u can buy? Anything i can do to stop any further damage while its all scraped?
Anyone from Manchester know an alloy refurbisher in the area?
cheers for any ideas.

don't buy a kit cause it never looks right with big scratches. Get it refurbed which would mean bead blasting and then filled and sprayed.
