Curbed Alloy

[maddog]

Arghhh! I curbed my alloy on my new 182 the other day!!

Does anyone know of a good way of touching up or repairing it?

Its only two spokes but looks awful and more to the point, I know its there!!!

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

No touch up paint available but.. go to your local paint supplier and get a small pot made up, brush paint it on with a artists paint brush.

Ixell paint colour code is 205-110

Ideally after touching up the damage as above you should then wet sand the painted area after the paint has cured and polish.

Or if you can get some made up in a can you can DIY repair it your self, using this guide

I curbed my alloy the other week on my 182 and, as you probably do, i hate having niggley scratches on my car. I am not the best at DIY when it comes to paint refurbing so i took it to my nearest (best) body repair shop. They completly refurbed the alloy for £50 and i cant even notice where it had previously been scratched. 1st class service: All in one day and cleaned it inside and out, so i was quite impressed. Not sure where you are, but if you anywhere near Edinburgh i would recommend MRM Coachsworks on Roseburn Street...

Cheers,

after having another look at the scratches I to have decided to take it to a local garage and have them do it for me. One of the scratches is quite deep!

Lets hope it doesn't cost much.

How much do you charge for this? I discovered a 2 inch kerb mark today and I want rid.

Chips away worked a treat for me

I have just kerbed my wheel and i am gutted. Its probably a bit of an over reaction but i cant help it when it comes to ma motor.

The pic shows the damage i did.

To all those who have posted in this thread or others that have fooked up and done the same do you think this is fixable?

I have called chips away and they intend to call back within 24 hours. £30 damage what do you think?

Gutted
