I want to repair the gutter rash on my 20" Supersport rims, as a result I will have to have them painted or repaint them myself.

Is it worth me going to get specific paint / Getting it matched or should I go for a standard silver paint?

You can stick a bit of bog in but I usually like to just sand the hell out of the rash till its all gone the alloy is pretty soft and easy to knock back. As long as its not too deep. Then just follow the sander out around the bit you knocked down so it doesn't have a big flat spot if you know what I mean.
