Nice find!

 

Thats a great find, may want to put this in one of the faqs! That rim looks perfect, and has good directions. This will prolly help alot of people!

 

Very nice............hopefully I will never have to use the link.

 

Hey Louie great post man but what if we have opal coated rims do you think that metallic silver would blend in?

 

I have no clue. I would go to a autobody paint shop have have them use the little paint sample cards.

 

Too bad it dont work on chrome.

 

I guess you could use that "chrome" paint.

 

so what happens when the tires need to come off and the guy uses tire iron to filp the tire in..is it going to be strong enough to withstand cracking?

 

Of course not but if you buy the same color paint as your rims (from any auto store) and use the Wurth clear-coat you should be fine. However I think you would have to buy that special clearcoat otherwise the paint will chip off!

I learned 2 things. How to fix it and Never to buy used rims.

 

Thanks for the link, it could come in handy one of these days.

 

imho as soon as I see "bondo" I say fuggetiboudit. Bondo is made to fool everyone else but the owner. I've got a scuff on one of my rims because it seems someone backed into my car. I can assure you that touch up paint DOES NOT work. Bondoing the wheel is going too far if you ask me.

Yesterday a sweet GS400 pulls up to me, and I could clearly see the passenger door was repaired (the reflection was ripply in that area). I think the owners realize it but probably accept body work for what it is. I guess you can't just replace the car because it had to get body work. But it's just so cheesy!
