Has anyone successfully used an alloy wheel repair kit to sort minor scuffs and scrapes, rather than buy new or 2nd hand alloys?
Any recommended kits?
Cheers, Ian
I have tried a kit from eBay. The main problem is matching the paint colour so results are only so so.
I asked my Mazda dealer for the correct wheel paint and was told it was not a defined Mazda colour. I guess they buy the wheels in already painted so a respray or refurb on all 4 wheels is the only way to get a perfect finish.
MK3 - Sunlight Silver
I managed to scuff a rim slightly in Belgium last year (a stupid kerb with an outward angle on it).
I had some paint left over from when I painted under the boot lid, so decided to see how it would look.
I took my dremmel tool with an emery wheel and lightly removed the rough edge, then over a period of a few hours built up the scuff with the Sunlight silver.
Turned out to be a great match.
