Well, it will eventually peel off and stuff. You need to get it bead blasted and repainted if you want it to look perfect, and like new.

Yeah I figured it would be a $hit load of work.

Found this:

Don't have time to do that. I'll check my local car access shop for a quick fix if available.

Thanks

Default Suggestion

I work for porsche and we have people all of the time coming in with scratched rims, Just look in the phonebook for a moble rim repair. They should come to you and they will resurface the rim and paint it, you cant even tell that it has been worked on.

if it's not too deep just a really fine sand paper and some matching paint should do the trick...i curbed my right 2 rims and i have yet to replace/repair em...im just lazy then again...it's gouged *sp?* out pretty bad

Really? I wasn't aware of that. Excellent suggestion. I just want to get it over with an out of my face. Really busy

Price estimate?
