Default Wheel Refurb?

Just managed to kerb a wheel !!!!

Can anybody recommend someone in the M25/M3 area to repair them? It's not too bad (just a little scuff on the edge) so can it be touched up, or does it have to be completely repainted?

Spit And Polish your local tyre place probably use these boys, mine do...

If it's that minimal have a go at diy?

If it's merely marked the paint and tiny scuffs just get a v close matching paint and anyone with a very steady hand to touch it up...

If it is as minimal as you say its probably not worth trying to be toooo perfect with the repair, if you get it done mint, and pay ££ you could do it again a week later...

Guess it comes down too

A: is it a show car or a daily driver

B: how long have you had those alloys before the 1st scuff/kerb

Sounds like it is probably worth trying to get a referbisher to do it then, I see you've posted on SS too, and one outfit have a very tempting price.

I'd search for info on them from the net, see how good other people think they are...

Thanks

In the cold light of day I've looked at them, and its just not worth the £40 + VAT per wheel (2 of them) to get them done, its such minor damage That's the best part of a hundred quid for 2-3 very small scuffs - when I'm buying flaps, grills, light protectors etc., that doesn't make a lot of sense

Sigh
