Ok, so here's the situation.

First off I know I need to drop it, its on the list.
Now that thats outta the way I've got VZ wheels on the car, and last summer I made the mistake of letting the GF drive and she (of course) curbed the wheels. [headbang] Anyways, damage done and its really not too bad, just scraped the paint off and chewed up the edge a bit. I filled in the spots with putty and sanded them smooth. After doing a bit of searching I placed an order for a can of Wurth spray paint with the idea I'll do the refinish myself for next to nothing. Nope, aparently they've recalled all cans because of a nozzle clogging issue or something [confused] From what I'm told they expect the paint to be available in a month and a half or so. Problem is that the wheels I've got on now are stockers wrapped in Blizzacks so I want to get my summer wheels on ASAP. My question to you, AZ is do I wait for the paint to be available again and do it the cheap way or get them professionally redone? I'm a broke college kid so the cheaper the better, but I also don't want to wait for a month and a half. Has anyone gotten wheels repainted? What kind of money are we talking?
Now, the real question. If I was to get them repainted what would look good? I was thinking like a charcoal...anyone got other ideas?
