Wheels - Minor Scuffs


Guest

Recommended Posts

Some would say very minor! Nonetheless, I would really like to get them fixed. All damage is on the outer rim of the wheel and is silver. The grey parts of the wheel are not damaged. Refurb firms want silly money. Any suggestions?

Hi Richard

I bought my first BMW in April of this year as a retirement present to myself. It's a 325D convertible (2012) and I love it !

Previous owners hadn't taken care of the wheels and there were multiple scuffs on all four rims.

So, to help get the car back to pristine condition, I shelled out £300 to have all four cleaned up and re-sprayed.

Since then, unfortunately on 2 occasions, I've "just touched" a kerb and have found that by careful use of a Dremel with a fine sanding drum, I can smooth out the marks and then touch them up with Hammerite smooth silver paint applied sparingly with a 4mm brush. A couple of coats and they're done.

Up close, of course you can see the touching in as against the sprayed finish but from only a few feet away, it's hard to tell.

Hope this helps.

John

Many thanks John. I will have a go using your method. If worse comes to worse, I'll have to have them done properly.

I find the rims so vulnerable and esay to damage. I have considered new aftermarket wheels but that can be expensive.
