Title: Alloy wheel refurb
Post by: Gaffers on 03 August 2009, 20:04:30

I seem to remember several members on here having a go at repairing scuffs on alloys.  I have seen plenty of DIY kits out there but I am curious as to which products work and which dont?  How easy is it to colour match?  And should I just bite the bullet and get them done by a pro?

Instead of trying to match the coulor do the whole rim. Might be a lot easyer. imo.

which will mean stripping the paint off 4 wheels before respraying and refitting........ :-/ :-/

How much of an effect does scuffed rims have on car resale value  ::) ::) ::)

If the wheels look like crap it makes a hell of a difference to the total appearance of the car.
so I would think it makes a canny bit of an impact on the price.
