ShawnPreece Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi guys I was gutted the other day when I curbed my wheel, totally my fault just forgetting how big and wide the car was and whilst turning round the curb in halfords car park my back wheel caught it, luckily as it's coming into winter now it won't be driven much (after Japshow finale this weekend) but has anyone any ideas of places that can sort this out? Not sure if them being coated white makes it trickier Here's a pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Easy fix that you could do yourself Is it paint or powder coat on the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The hardest thing will be matching the white. Easy repair though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Easy fix that you could do yourself Is it paint or powder coat on the wheel I'm assuming powdercoat as they came that colour from Rota UK, would they need blasting and redoing or would there be an easier fix? The hardest thing will be matching the white. Easy repair though. That's good hoping it's an easy repair just not sure best place to take it lol, yeah colour could be hard to match as all they say at rota is white and no colour code asuch (that I know of anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Rub down yourself then find a colour match chart, then just touch in the damaged section. If you get one wheel fully refurbished it could very well look like an odd wheel on your car even if the its the same white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formatzero Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 If you repaint both on that side colour match not such a big issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
