Unhappy

Had my wheels refurbed last week (kerbed by previous owner). Oh dear today caught the back wheel and the rear wheel is kerbed again. Though I used wicked wheels last time (excellent job too) I cant afford to splash the £50.00 has anyone ever attempted to DIY repair an alloy. Its just the rim so that is all that will need spraying. Only problem is it is a MY03 with gunmetal wheels. Where can I get the paint from? Wicked wheels mixed it (subaru gold with alloy).

Any help most appreciated.

Most decent motor factors sell a product which is a chemical metal, Get some of that Mix it apply it & shape etc, Also most decent motor factors again will also mix paint for you..

Take your time & a top job should be in hand Did this on mine, But had the tyre removed so i could really get at it, also used a dremmell for the shaping afterwards

Good Luck

Dean
