Removal of curb scratch marks on Alloy Wheels

Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried to remove the scratch marks on the alloy wheels. Some of them are just not on the surface and run a bit deep. Where can I get it fixed and what would be the cost involved?

Also, has anyone tried to do it by themselves?

I’ve done a few sets. It’s not difficult but it’s time consuming. Waiting for coats of paint to dry so you can sand them down ready for another coat is the worst part. First you need the wheels to be thoroughly clean. Sand down any parts of the scratches/gouges with rough sandpaper or a grinder so they are level with the rest of the surface of the wheel. Then fill the holes with isopon. When dry, rub it down flat with fine sandpaper. 
 

Then just follow the normal wheel painting procedure. Sand the whole wheel down to make a good surface for the primer to stick. Spray primer. Rub down. Spray primer again. Rub down. Spray topcoat. Rub down. Spray topcoat. Run down. Spray topcoat. Spray clear coat. Spray clear coat. 
 

It helps if you break the bead on the tyre before you start. Makes the masking and painting process a lot easier
