Alloy Wheel Repair and
Refurbishment
This is becoming more popular as most exterior parts
on cars can be colour coded.
Some refurbishment companies offer this service, but
it entirely up to whom you choose. The refurbishment may also cost a
little more for the paint matching or you may be required to provide the
paint that you want them to refurbish your alloys with.
However, it isn’t always possible to find an exact
colour match, so make sure you check that your colour can be obtained,
or find out from whom you choose for the alloy wheel refurbishment if
they can do/provide a colour match.
Colour coding is not really recommended because if
you scuff the alloy wheel again it will remove the colour paint. This
will reveal the alloy metal beneath the paint, obviously the contrast
between alloy and colour paint is more obvious than alloy metal against
silver (alloy colour) paint.
This makes the fault/kerb/scratch even more
visible and ruining the look of your past
refurbishment.
Please remember, not all alloy wheel refurbishment
companies offer this service, you would need to take a look at a few if
you still want it doing. |
