Alloy wheels are something to be proud of. Well maintained alloys can make or break a car’s appearance, helping increase the value of your vehicle as well as looking fantastic on the road. That said, alloy wheels are not indestructible. Kerb scuffs and scratches on your alloys may take away the striking look of the rest of your car. But, when it comes to repairing them, is it worth paying a professional, or can you paint your alloys at home? When painting alloy wheels, it’s important to use a high-quality paint that is specifically designed for the purpose. The type of paint used on alloy wheels should be durable and capable of withstanding the harsh conditions wheels are exposed to, such as heat from brakes and road debris. Alloy wheel paint types include specific wheel paint, epoxy paint, high-temperature paint, automotive enamel paint and powder coating. SMART alloy wheel repairs are incredibly efficient and result in an amazing finish. Through using the SMART process, and specialist technology, professional alloy wheel repair specialists (like ChipsAway) can make sure that the colour perfectly matches your wheel. This means that only the damaged area needs to be repaired and repainted, and the whole wheel doesn’t need repainting to ensure the new paint blends in. While this isn’t quite as easy as paying for professional wheel repair, it’s much easier than a DIY wheel refinish. It’s also cheaper than a DIY wheel refinish! Repairing your alloys at home is also likely to be time-consuming, and can be very labour intensive. Taking up your time and energy that could be better spent elsewhere.

3. Hide Wheel Damage (And Prevent Further Damage) With RimBlades

Apply primer to the wheel (if you’re using RimSavers). The primer makes a big difference in wheel adhesion, which is one of the great reasons to upgrade from RimBlades To RimSavers. To deal with chip damage, we’ve produced our own range of chip, and car scratch repair pens. You simply pop the cap and cover chips and heavier scratches. As the paint dries, it blends in with the finish of your car, making scratches and chips disappear. If your windscreen has become damaged at the same time, you can book a windscreen chip repair There are two common problems that often face people who wish to paint their alloy wheels themselves. Firstly, applying alloy wheel paint is not as simple as it sounds. Where doing the job yourself is likely to cost less than it would be to call in the professionals, due to the complexity of applying alloy wheel paint, it doesn’t necessarily have the same guarantee of ending up with a quality finish. This means that it is unlikely that you will be able to get the same quality finish as a trained professional.

Also, unlike the other options, adding a set of RimSavers or RimBlades to your wheels is a great way to protect them from future damage. First, sand the damaged area(s) to smooth them down, as well as remove any existing paint or primer. Most kits include a couple of different sandpaper grits, with a fine grit for the final finish. Leaving aside being a faster and more efficient process, allowing a professional to repair your alloy is also likely to be more convenient for you. Unlike traditional with bodyshops, most ChipsAway specialists are mobile. What this means is that they can complete the repair at a time and place most suitable for you. Giving you time to carry on with your day.Finally, primer and then paint are applied. If the wheels have a clear coat finish, clear can be applied carefully to blend with the existing finish.
