Snow kurbing :( - DIY fix?

[AhmedRSi]

Managed to clip a kurb in the ice and snow. Damage is light and shown in the pics below. What are my options for fixing? Recently had these powder coated... would it be possible to touch up myself with a gloss black pen?

 

[AhmedRSi]

 

[mullen]

Yeah, it would make it less visible

 

[AhmedRSi]

What touch up pen could I use? I want it to match (sorry pics dont really show the wheel properly as there dirty as f**k!

 

[jackfm]

a black one?

 

[AhmedRSi]

Any 'gloss black' one from halfords?

 

[Nick_P]

Looks like the perfect chance to get some new wheels. LOLS.


But yeah, just generic gloss black, Flat it down a bit first otherwise it will look shonky.

Pfft thats weak!!

 

[AhmedRSi]

Whats best to flat it down with? can i touch it up with the tyre still on the rim?

 

[Nick_P]

yes tyre still on, just a bit of wet and dry, you dont want to paint over the scuff, as it will look like a scuff with paint on it..

 

[mas]

new wheels time..... a god send!

 

[AhmedRSi]

Any advise on techniques to flat down just the scuffs and avoid flatting the other area around it?

 

[Nickharding]

Pfft thats weak!!

your lucky your tyre is still inflated!

Where you from mate? If you were local I'd off you a hand. Had similar with one of mine and it's now invisible. Sprayed mne though, gotta be patient with masking though!

 

[guysy]

Sand it, Mask it, Paint it.. Should be less visible. Could use a bit of metal filler on there i think..

Wait till its warmer though..

Or use it as an opportunity for new alloys !

I'll be in luton from the 26th to atleast the 28th mate, if you want me to give you a hand I'll bring some wet and dry paper with me, if you buy a tin of spray I'm pretty sure I could get it looking larvery!

 

[AhmedRSi]

^ YGPM mate!

 

[AhmedRSi]

Just want to say a bit thanks to Robbos for sorting my alloy out!

Top lad! Looks miles better now and really appreciate the fact it was freezing and very early! Will post pics of it when I get a chance to polish it all up etc

 

[Ridahz]

Good to hear you got it sorted in the end mate

Top man Robbos for helping you sort it! :star:
