Curb rash

speedracer007 · 11-25-2014, 12:01 PM

Anyone try to repair curb rash themselves? I have a small scrap, about 2" long, that I got this past weekend. Plenty of Youtube videos showing how to do the repair yourself.

My concern is with the silver paint -- does anyone know what brand would match the OEM rims on a 2013 base model?

FYI -- I got a quote from a local place, Wheel Fix It (kinda like the name), for $125, then another $15 to remount the tire. I sent a request to the local "Alloy Wheel Repair" place but have not heard back from them yet.

I dug up my old rpf1s pretty bad. Filed down the gash. Filled it with a spackling putty. Smoothed it. Rattle can primed then had a little paint shop color match it. They charged me $45
