2. What kind of sandpaper, and other materials am I going to need.
3. Any tips or tricks you all might have for me.
first things first NO u cannot use bondo on ur wheels. only way to fix curb rash it to take the rim to a wheel shop and let them repair which cost a lot of $$$. on the passenger side rim on my car there is a significant amout of curb rash from privious owner, which is not even noticable once i painted the wheels. only way u will notice the curb rash is if u are up close to the rim.

second here is a link with the steps i took to paint my wheels and the came out great. Good Luck

Painted my wheels!!
