  That happened to me once. But I am new driver, so I didn't rush to repair it. It is only when I had a little dent that I bring in my car for dent repair. That guy saw my rims and spray over it free of charge. Although it is of a slightly different coat, but still it is a lot less visble. Orginal plan was to drive for 1 year, then change to wider rims.
  
  Anyway, I think Yew lip is charging 80 per wheel.
