LOL,, You're not the first, and definately not the last to do this,, you only have to look at these spiders and they seem to kerb themselves!!! I am waiting 'till after Xmas to do mine, and shall be using Wicked Wheels, after hearing so many excellent reports about them

Yes you won't be the last one to do that!!
I have had to mend one or two scrapes myself.
I use a fairly cheap airbrush that you can get from any good model shop, you can also buy the cans of propelant too. next go to any car spares shop, and buy a air arsehole can of Vauxhall silver paint(this shade worked ok for me!)
The air arsehole can will spray too wide(reason for the airbrush) Find a clean and dry Jam Jar, and carefully spray the can into it(are you bored yet?)
Until you have the desired amount of paint to fill the little cantainer on the airbrush. By using the airbrush you can spray very 'local' and requires only minimal masking up of surrounding areas.
You will need to get some thinners aswell.
Sorry to have gone on a bit, but i hope this helps you out.

Ps ..you may need to also purchace some P38 filler(Davids Isopon)if the scrapes are to deep, as the paint alone will not fill the scratches,

When I scraped one of mine, Wicked Wheels would not come out to repair just one wheel.It was not worth their while travelling 30 miles to do it. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience

I had an excellent experience with wicked wheels. Came and fixed up one wheel that I kerbed and now it looks like new.

Guess it depends a bit on who your local chap is.

Good luck but I would definately investigate the wicked wheels route.
