Alloy Wheel Chip

Any cheap and simple ideas to fix this chip? I'm not too bothered, just wondering if a simple fix is available. Cheers.

I would treat it as a stone chip bit of prep and spray you won't notice it in a week.

That's a diamond cut alloy. If you've got a full size spare could always swap the alloy over Thumbs Up MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
