Re: messed up my rim
|
Ouch.....Been there done that....
Ok so here's where you're at. You scratched the plastic coating(hopefuly you didn't go through to the metal) There are a few solutions to quick fix but not permanant fix the problem. The permanent fix is to take all the wheels and get then "re dipped/sprayed"
So here we go... First way is to clean the wheels with a heavy duty degreaser and dry them completely. Next tape and paper off the tire so all you see is the rim. Make sure you also cover the back of the rim so nothing gets to the inside of the wheel. Use some old paper bags here and stuff them behind.
Get a can of good quality clear spraypaint and apply a few "THIN" coats. Let dry between coats.
Here's the deal...With time and exposure to the elements, the clear paint will start to flake off...Don't panic...Go to the local car wash and pressure wash the failed clear paint off and reapply.
Please let me know how you made out....Good luck!
