Dang. I just curbed my wheels today. I've had them for a month now, and have been doing my best to at least park 4 inches from a curb to avoid this. However today I was parallel parking on a hill today, and got some curbage.

How much would this approximately cost to repair? Or is there some sort of DIY I can do? And would it even matter if I plan on getting them Powder Coated within the next two months?

**Sorry for the blurry pic. I was kinda frustrated and couldn't keep the camera still. Plus the stupid spot focus and the sun weren't working in unison. Also my my valve caps are black because someone stole the metal ones :\

A light sanding and touch up paint should be fine.

You could possibly DIY. That looks rather minor. Just sand it, use putty or bondo (optional), then use touch-up paint. I rashed my rim 2 weeks ago and I was sooooo ____ed! I used my silver touch-up paint and it looks better. (Not perfect, but MUCH better.) If all else fails, maybe the place that you're going to Powder Coat can fix it before they spray it. Just an idea.
