Alloy Repair

php-fox · 2012-02-21 10:48:55

Hi. Is it possible to repair/repaint an alloy? I accidently hit a very high kerb while parking and scratched it pretty much all the way around. Really angry with myself Do you know any places that would help me and how much it would cost? Picture: http://tinypic.com/r/23lxq1z/5

You don't say where you're based....

But in Dublin, I've used Tallaght Powder Coating with good success. However, be warned, if you get the Alloys treated 100% colour match may not be possible, as such, you may have to do two of them (same side)

Thanks for the tip. Was the repair expensive?

It depends on the size, for me I done all 4 x 18" wheels and it was €400 or €100 per wheel

I was without the wheels for 2 days (or one overnight). No courtesty tyres given...
