Curb Rash (Pic) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

How much do you think I could get this rash fixed on the rim. The rims are 20' painted silver wheel(not the RS wheels). Would I be better off buying new rims or can they can get fixed cheap, do you see it as a minor rash?

Around here rates run $100-$135 per wheel. They might not do mobile service since the wheel has clear coat. If you can't find a mobile repair service to come to you, plan on a 48 hour turn around on your wheel.

look for "alloy wheel repair" shops. I got curb rash once and it was $100 to repair. Looks like new.

Here's a link to a repair....http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...l+paint+repair
I am presently slowly doing this simila repair but have no pics, right now it has been primed, sanded and cleaned( washed) will let it go until I have time to finish.
The paint code is WA569F sterling silver (matte) for wheels. If you can find a place to make up a spray can and do it yourself and get clear for the topping, it may save some $$. By the way I'll be useing this one for winter tires so it doesn't need to be perfect for me.

There's a place in El Paso that does this type of repair for $40 per wheel... They even take the wheel off and to a paint shop to color-match. I had this happen to me too and it's an awful feeling! It can be hard finding a place that can/will repair alloy wheels.
