Repair powder coated wheel or replace
Hey folks. I got some nasty curb rash on one of my wheels that was powder coated. I called one place and they said you cannot repair a powder coated wheel. Anybody got any other information. I'm currently residing in Northern VA. If it can't be done, anybody know where I can get a cheap set of stockers? Preferably the aluminum 5 spoke, but I will take the 10 spoke if they are available.

They make touch up paint for powdercoat, at least for industrial purposes. I'm sure you could match the paint color with a touch up spray and get pretty close. Takes a little finesse to match the texture/gloss, though.

I work in NoVa and used wheels onsite.com I had a really deep gouged driver side wheel (scrubbed a curb at 10mph) and they did a flawless job. They came to my work and I had the wheel in my jeep.
They want the tire on the whee since they have a rotational jig to spin it for paint and epoxy work. Took about 1.5- 2 hours 179$ first wheel and i think 75$ for each additional during the same visit Flawless match with my other wheels. I will use them again if ever hit scratch another The work was done dec 17 and it still great now |
