How to repair alloy wheels yourself

• Careless driving and many other factors are the
  enemies of alloy wheels. However, there are
  simple solutions to fix all those scrapes and
  gouges. In order to repair those issues
  perfectly, you dont need to remove the wheels of
  the car. You just need to find all the needed
  tools and products suitable for your repair
  project. Before calling the specialists for Car
  Paint Scratch Repair, we advise you to go to your
  local automotive accessory supply store in order
  to buy the needed products and try to do the
  project yourself.  You can follow these 8 steps
  and start repairing scraped up wheels and rims in
  no time at all.

1. Sand Down The Scratched Wheel Surface

• Wet/dry sandpaper for automotive finishing to
  sand the surface of the scratches and scrapes on
  the rims. By roughly going over the entire area,
  you can easily repair it. We also offer you to
  use a sponge and soapy water solution.

2. Start Treating More Heavily Damaged Areas

• First of all, select deeper gouges or dents.
  Choose some polyester sand finishing filler once
  you have identified those scratched area. This
  finishing filler is such a type of product that
  is designed for the deeper scratches and gouges
  and it is used on alloy rims. Substitute surface
  is created by this filler and it can be easily
  sanded and painted.
• Note that the surface of the filler doesnt need
  to be excellent in this stage. It requires to
  level out the more damaged space on the rim. So
  when you finish DIY project, the scratches will
  not be visible at all because the fresh pain will
  cover them in an amazing way. There are many
  common types that only need up to 30 minutes to
  dry. In order to check where the auto filler is
  dry or not, simple use your fingernail. If there
  is a mark on the surface after touching it, then
  it means that the auto filler is not dry. Thus,
  it requires some more time to dry.

3. Sand The Repaired Areas Of The Rims

• This is the next step but it should be done when
  the sand finishing filler has dried. The area
  that was covered with filler should be buffed so
  that it will become rough enough and the paint
  will adhere to it properly. We offer you to start
  with a 80 grit course sandpaper. The next step
  includes going over the surface with a finer 180
  grit sandpaper. After this step, the areas that
  have been repaired will be prepared for the
  primer.

4. Prepare The Wheel For The First Coat

• You need to scuff the whole surface of the wheel
  in order to have it be prepared for the first
  layer of primer. You can use Scotch-Brite
  automotive abrasive pads which are perfect
  especially for collision repair. We offer you to
  use it by passing over the whole surface. We
  dont advise you to opt for a spot repair because
  the pain will be visible in this case. Besides,
  it can chip away through time. Use the abrasive
  pad around the edge of the rim, inside the valve
  hole, bolt holes as well as the sides of all
  spokes. Once you notice the whole surface has a
  dull finish, this step can be considered to be
  achieved. The next step is to clean off the dust
  by using a simple micro-fiber cloth. Simply wipe
  off the fine dust properly and then cover the
  area with paint. Use a masking tape so that the
  sidewalls of the tire, valve, lug caps and centre
  cap of the rims wont be painted.

5. Apply The First Primer Coat

• There where the scratches have been fixed, just
  spray a thin layer of filler primer all places.
  This will help smooth out the repaired alloy and
  filler. Let the filler primer sit for 10 minutes
  and jump to applying the second coat. This also
  provides an extra protection because your car
  becomes rust-resistant.

6. Go for the Second Primer Coat

• Apply the second coat after you see the first
  layer has dried. When you are fully satisfied,
  start the next process.

7. Apply the Silver Coat

• Spray the wheel rim by using the metallic paint.
  If you use a specialized auto paint, you will
  create a shiny finish. Make sure you spray in all
  the crannies.

8. Finish The Repair With A Layer Of Clear Coat

• We advise you to use SprayMax 2K clear coat as it
  ensures high-resistance to outdoor elements. Add
  as many layers as you want to avoid running. You
  can also spray the clear coat in quick strokes.
• When everything is done, let the clear pain get
  dry. Then remove the masking tape and enjoy the
  beautiful appearance of your vehicle.
