HOW TO FIX CURB RASH | Scratches on rim

[@killianmills276]

Yo that’s looks rly good. Better than the shop that did mine and I paid big money.

[@BuddysDIY]

Yes ive heaed the story many time if rim shops charging 100 dollars per rim to make them look subpar

[@ivanfuentes1927]

Ima try do this myself

[@georgerohr9452]

Honestly I was so mad at myself about mine… I feel better lol

[@1111ALM]

One of the most thorough,detailed, and easy to follow videos posted on this topic. Excellent video, thanks.

[@JaimoeD]

Probably the best DIY video I have ever seen. For me, your decision to "speed up" the recording during the mundane processes, absolutely genius. Most do not and thats when viewers get impatient and move on. Keep up the good work. 5 STARS.

Appreciate that brother!!!

Seriously. I've seen a few videos. I was gonna start searching "serious scuffs or curb marks" but the videos are worse than mine

[@EveryonesYouniversE]

Facts lol

[@michaelangelo7132]

Put your rattle can into a bucket of really hot water for 3-5 minutes before spraying. This gets the pressure up in the can so it atomizes better ( less orange peel )

[@safesclart]

Man, that makes total sense, I will be trying that. Nice tip (just not boiling tho a lol )

[@darkobelisk4076]

nah not really hot. A buddy did that and the can exploded in his living room... could have got injured too but it ruined his carpet, got on tv too.

Awesome stuff! Let me know how it comes out brother!

[@marciehunter6038]

Definitely using your method. The easiest one I've seen.

[@edwardcovington9851]

Are you repainting the whole wheel or just the sanded/primed part? It looks like you are painting just the affected area. When spraying that specific area does it not matter that some spray might get on the unaffected part of the wheel?

[@csmers3743]

Hell yeah man, great pointers!! I followed this and my wheels came out great👍🏽🔥

[@BuddysDIY]

Awesome man! Glad I could hlep!!

Very helpful video. I just ran over the curb driving my brand new, month-old BMW X3. (so embarrassing) Thanks for this video very helpful. Hopefully, it works on my car.

[@BuddysDIY]

Glad to have been able to help!!

[@verygoodboy2688]

My local tire shop doesn't charge for pulling the tires off at all, pretty sweet. Also don't charge to mount, balance, or rotate tires

[@johnvodopija]

Nice repair tutorial. I’ll be using these tips real soon dealing with my curb rash. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

[@BrucePierson]

You should use a sanding block when sanding the filler. You get it nice and straight that way.

Great video! I just got curb rash on my new Silverado with gloss painted rims. I was super bummed but after watching your video, I feel much better and gonna try to fix it myself. Thanks!

Looked great after the second coat dried, wish we could have seen the final dried result! Thanks for the video!

[@chrisfeltus590]

Do you have to paint the entire rim if the road rash area is a small part covering less than 5 inches in length? Can you use this method and spot correct and try to blend existing paint to new paint?

[@NotMyRealNameBro]

Hey bud just found your channel, great job man I love how all the materials you use are easily attainable and the videos are super straight forward (the intro is dope haha) keep it up and the best of look sending good vibes your way

[@caddiediscgolf6872]

So I just successfully did this and love the result so far. I’m putting the wheels on the tires before painting and my wheels had a fair amount of rash. I’m worried that the Bondo will chip when they’re putting the tires on. Any issues for you!

[@BuddysDIY]

Bondo is some strong stuff. In sure you wont have an issue. Did you see my orginal how to paint your rims video? Its in the description. If you follow that method I promise the edged of the rim wont get messed up when you out new tires. Ive swapped my tires twoce on my bmw and the edges have zero sign of wear!

[@MOAB-UT]

When they put tires on, if you look closely, the machine first breaks the tire bead (shouldn't touch rim at all), then a longer metal arm uses leverage to get the bead over another metal part which takes the tire off. No part of the machine should ever touch the rim- ideally. You just have to make sure the operator doesn't rush. The machines are designed to work on $5k rims the same as $50 rims. It's more about the operator and the care that is taken. As extra insurance, you can simply mark the area with the filler with two pieces of blue painters tape to outline the boundary. Ask the installer to try to avoid that area. A wheel balance will be in order since filler is lighter (less dense) than the metal it attempts to replace. Bottom line- if care is taken, it should be fine.

[@siioHD]

This happened o me. Both my right rims are mate black but now have bad curve rash that expose the silver metal from hitting a curve. I was tempted to just drop some money saved and just get two more rims but a repair should be cheaper.

[@TheJkrouse88]

Wont the filler have a strong possibility of cracking off while mounting a tire?

You did an excellent job. However, I don't know hot to take the rims off my tires.😮‍💨I have curb rash on my rims. I called Toyota this morning to get the cost of how much it will cost $2,048.60 for 4 new Alloy Toyota 2017 Camry Rims.

[@darkobelisk4076]

I guess that includes tyres. Camry wheels are $1000 new max, and you're better off getting aftermarket rims at that point. Could easily get used on Facebook marketplace or ebay with tyres for 500.

[@bzsbzs350]

Unless you dented your rim in or had a chunk taken out, just buy and use the paint. Odds are you will scrape the rim again anyway. The only way to tell anything is wrong with the rim is to get down and stare at close range, no one is doing that but you.

i had some slight curb rash on my rims and did it with the wheel on the tire still. 180 grit, 400 grit, and 2000 grit. then cleaned with alcohol and just painted with flat black rustoleum. we'll see how it holds up but I barely sanded off any of the rim so I think its good on being balanced
