my brake line leaked some brake fluid and now one of my rims is messed up... the clear coat is gone! can i repaint my rims and at the same time repair the curb marks? i talked to a shop here and they told me that rims have a special clear coat and that recoating it is impossible..

 

Not only is it possible, its done every day by rim repair shops. They fix bends, buff, and sand down curb rash damage all the time. They then refinish, and reclear the rims to almost good as new.

If the shop you went to said that, they obviously have no experience working on rims, so I'd just try somewhere else.

 

ea, my friend got his powdercoated and the guy said that they would just need to bead blast them since they already have a clear coa ton it...

 

any idea on where to do it around the 909 (so cal)..?? and how much??

 

Contact Wheels America, They fixed a set of wheels for me and powdercoated them black. They picked them up, repaired them, and delivered them the next day for no additional charge.

cool..how much did it cost ya?? and did u fix all 4 rims??

 

wheels america does some AWESOME work ... it's kinda pricey though. $109 per rim when i got my CL-S's done.

 

I got my silver 5 zigens bead blasted and powder coated gloss black at olympic powder coating in Santa Ana. 50$ a wheel. If you rim is bent theres another place that does both repair and coating also in the santa ana anaheim area for 100 bucks a wheel.

 

Where is this place? I'm looking for any place that repairs a bent rim in Orange County California. The lip of one of my rims is slightly bent. (It's minor, but I still want it fixed)

Thanks!

 

With CL-S Rims, it might be cheaper to get another rim.
