Alloy wheel repair

Mad

Just noticed a big scuff on one of my rear wheels, I know I didn't do it and I'm pretty sure it happend while being washed yesterday by one of the supermarket car wash cabins. I'm pretty Censored about it. It looks like they've gone through the laquer on one of the spokes (not the rim, how the Censored did they manage that). I've been washin it myself or using the supermarket crewes because I was worried about an auto car wash damaging it Mad I'll never ever use them again.

On to the question, can anyone reccomend a way of getting this repaired?

Thanks,

Mike (who was having a bad day anyway)

I had an alloy wheel repaired on my last car - Jag X Type. Found out they were painted alloys Shocked

FL2 look the same.

Local body shop resprayed it and looked good as new and perfect match so I would try one near you.

You could try a mobile scratch/dent repair firm too. Worth informing car wash owner and trying claim on their insurance Thumbs Up

as said lots of smart repair/dent removal companies do it

If your near leeds the chap who did my scrated car could sort you out, at a very good cost Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
