This Alloy wheel has very bad curb rash and is in need of a full restoration and repair. We also decide to change the colour from silver to black. Most wheels in this condition would be scrapped but this wheel lives again.

This is a badly curb rash wheel that we decided to repair and also change the color to. it had some very bad scratches and had to sand them out and also fill the deeper ones. If you have any suggestions on other ways to do this repair then please leave a comment below. We think the repair came out great.

@oegjohnny4608 5 жыл бұрын

What about paint striper it'll work on factory powder coated wheels and would of saved you lots of time,also if someone wants them polished to a morror shine what about filling the rashes with aluminum grind smooth then start the polishing process with wet or dry sanding,the wheels look great tho👍

@bara2ban 5 жыл бұрын

If you are doing it just for sale, this would work. BUT if you plan to keep it for your car, make sure you are using a paint and a clear coat with higher temperature tolerance. Because rims do get very hot(all depending on how you drive though) and regular paint might start to shell off after a while.
