Wheel Re-finishing

Well, I did it again This time to my rear passenger wheel of my 2008 G37S. I inadvertently curbed it while going into a parking deck. Luckily, it only affected the lip and is not that noticeable unless you look really close.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a quality wheel repair shop in the DC/MD/VA area?

Thanks in advnace

I forgot to mention that I do not want to use any place that completely repaints the wheel. Then we get into issues of the color not being a perfect match.

I know this is going to sound weird, but if you just need to put the color back in, this is a pretty close match. I have used it on my two front wheels. http://www.sharpie.com/enUS/Product/...nt_Marker.html

Wow...never thought of that. I guess I could probably go into a Staples to find this marker. However, it did scratch the rim.

Thanks anyway. I'll give it a shot
