Take it to a rim repair joint and get them to fix it, get your panel beater to pay for the damage.

yeh its booked in for neway wheel repairs.

i hope he pays but no chance he'l admit it the dog

Or just demand your panel beater to buy you a new rim and he can keep that old rim and hang it off a wall of his workshop as a reminder to be more careful with customer cars. Hitting a gutter is a clear sign of care less for customer's cars - in 10+ years of driving I am yet to hit a gutter.

Here's your problem:

- if you touch up the rim, it would look very ugly and will almost not blend in

- if you leave it like that then that's even worse

- if you repair the one rim and paint it, it will look newer than the other 3 and there is no guarantee it will look 100% like the original

Sucks, but I suggest you just touch it up for now...that's the best option and the most cost effective one
