How to Fix and Paint Kerbed Alloy Wheels at Home
How to repair kerbed and damaged wheels.
In this video I will show you the steps to repair and refurbish your cars damaged alloy wheels.
Whether your Alloy Wheels have kerb rash, or if you just need to Refurbish your cars Alloy Wheels then I will take you through the steps needed to fix them.
First we remove them from the car. The jacking and raising information can be found in your cars owners manual, or online.
Next we need to thoroughly clean the wheel and tire to make sure there is nothing that will contaminate our paint process.
After that we can level the damage using a file or rotary tool (Dremel) and blend the damage using either sand paper or a sander.
The next stage is to use Body Filler or Bondo to fill the damage, which once cured is then sanded to blend the repair in to the wheel.
Using a cheap spray gun from Amazon I applied an Etch Primer to the Alloy Wheel as this gives the best surface for our paint to bond to.
The Primer then needs to be levelled with the original paint and blended to make sure that there are no edges.
When this is done we can apply our paint to the repaired Alloy Wheel. I'm using a 2k Basecoat and Clear. I used Ferrari Argento Nürburgring as it is the original factory colour for modern Ferrari Wheels.
When the base coat dries (this is pretty instantly) I applied 3-4 coats of Clear Coat to the painted wheel. leave around 10 mins per coat. The first coat should be a dry coat then 2-3 wet coats for the best gloss.
The final steps are to polish the wheel using compound and a DA Polisher, then fitting the wheel back on to the car.
This process can be done easily at home. Take your time and you too can achieve quality results.

    I must be really thick, I'm still bamboozled. Bought some Optimum No Rinse from the US. The bottle says 1 OZ (product) : 2 Gallons (Water). Does anyone know the UK equivalent dilution ratio? I made it 250:1 but I'm not sure?!

    I've two of the much larger black MagLites - I believe that they each hold 4 D size batteries. Both have been transformed from flashlights into clubs because the batteries have swollen, and it is impossible to remove the end caps.

      It turned out to be a sticking clutch release bearing that managed to burn out a clutch with 80% life left in 800 miles. I ended up with a gearbox fault, which then turned in to having the clutch, flywheel, and some other parts replaced, then 2 days later the rear main seal started leaking so it all had to come back out again (luckily the seal was done under warranty). It turned out to be a very expensive problem that was never picked up when the car went in for a service a couple of months before. I sold the car not long after this.
