So if any of you WA peeps want to restore your rims ( only curbs, NO DENTS ), mend and repaint you bumper or get rid of small rust spots, let me know.

This is my proof that I can get it done properly.

[SoundEfx]

Thanks.

What paint do you normally use?

 

[DonJulio]

I just drive so well I never get curb rash.

Also pays to have a lot of meat on your tires haha.

 

[SoundEfx]

I hear you man. These were bought used, so the rashes were not put on there by me.

 

[DCiFound]

you did the work yourself?
The rims looks good without the scuffs. Like brand new to you

 

[DonJulio]

What method did you use?

Bondo filled the gouge?

Or just polish it out?

 

[SoundEfx]

What method did you use?

Bondo filled the gouge?

Or just polish it out?

Very and I do mean VERY little bondo is used because if you use a 'glob' of bondo, after a few weeks and the first big pothole the wheel hits, the bondo will crack and peel off.

Instead what is used is an all metal filler. This is used to fill all the deep gouges up to the rim's surface and very little bondo is used to fill in the small surface spaces in the metal filler.

This method also preserves the rims integrity instead of being weakened with bondo.

Do you or someone you know need their rims fixed?
