mass-hole Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Has anyone ever tried to repair curb rash? I have 06-07 spec.b wheels and they would be beautiful but the PO curb rashed the **** out of them. Is there a way to restore them and make it so they can be powdercoated later. Some kind of metallic laced filler or something? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesuby Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 If they are that bad, maybe you want a professional. If they're not too bad a little paint might do. Or use them for mounting snows and buy another set (a number are for sale on this forum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdzowner Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 there is a sweet you tube video using a two part epoxy resin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon427 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 It's very easy to do. I've done write ups on it (nasioc) and can be done in an hour. Don't use bondo. Use a metal filler. I prefer a product called Aluminox which is used to repair boats. It can be sanded, drilled and painted. It's a putty that you easily spread over the rash, let drive for 5-10 min then sand smooth. Prime, paint then clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBlitzed Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Is the rash isn't bad you can sand it out. Or find a welding shop to fill in the rashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I used JB weld on my 17's, it's holding up great. Good luck trying to find the paint code for the wheels. It seems to be a trade secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users paintpollz Posted November 13, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted November 13, 2012 I should post a pic of my stock winter wheels. I'll show you rash. NH winters, power sliding fun, and granite curbs. You get the picture...... "Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left."

outahere Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Fill in the low spots with metal filler, as others have already advised. Or take off the high spots on a lathe, but be careful not to take off too much metal from the lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
