kobayashiGT Internal Moderator May 10, 2021 Share May 10, 2021 DIY Curbed Wheel Fix - Was It Worth It? Quote NICE!!!! so for those who kenna kerb rashes on your rims, the other consideration is to get it repaired. Don't change when you can repair! But I think in Singapore context, it will be more cost effiecent to send to a local spray painting shop for the job. 😬 ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin03 4th Gear May 10, 2021 Share May 10, 2021 1 hour ago, kobayashiGT said: DIY Curbed Wheel Fix - Was It Worth It? Propose have it repair after more than 3 rims damages. Check for warp condition / hairline cracks before decision on the repair n have a new coat of paint (new colour) for a refreshing look too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratovarius Turbocharged May 10, 2021 Share May 10, 2021 I've fixed curb rash on my rims before. Just use some quick drying putty, sand down, dried over night and spray or brush paint the next day. Super easy. Couldn't find the fix the day i sold the rims. lol. One thing is the rims cannot chrome as i cant find a good paint can that can reproduce the chrome look. The is the reason (other than i hate chrome rims) i do not look into chrome rims when changing. Other colour like black, grey and gun metal are easier to DIY patch. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
