Fix Tesla rim curb rash for around $20. model 3 repair

[@MikeOliverDesign]

Thank you for the straight to the point fix without a story or telling us to wait until the end for the answer.

[@3rdeyeoracle434]

I agree, dude got straight to it instead of telling us a story we dont need to hear

[@bobtailsthecat]

quick and easy, nice to see someone who realizes we have daily cars that don’t need to go 1500 steps into fixing a little curb rash lmao

[@MarkDickinson]

Thanks Luke

[@TheHaagendazs0]

Lol

[@joelewing7733]

Pro tip: spray the back of the cards so the kids can still use the cards. you absolute monster 😂

[@kasio22B]

Dude, I don't care about the rim job, but thanks for the tips anyway.😂 Your voice is made for any types of broadcasting, very soothing and professional. 👍

[@sethstrachan]

my fav part is you didnt unbolt the wheel. straight to the point not a second wasted i love it

[@rodger2499]

Great solution. I do lots of paining my advice would be to use masking tape on the tire and rim above and below the sanding area.

[@johnzenkin1344]

"After 70.000 miles he got his first kerb rash"....after about 7 miles I got mine! lol.

I let my friend borrow one of my wheels cuz he had flat n our cars dont come with spares. Whole wheel is curbed

[@lkroy6945]

Fantastic! Full self driving just curbed half a rim badly before we could manually correct. 😢.now we can fix it ourselves. Thanks!

[@johnp.weiksnar6861]

Exceptional results, and clever use of the cards! FWIW, a dollar store sanding sponge works great for the initial step.

[@MarkDickinson]

I gotta get one of those.

[@CyberJakeAped]

Thank you so much! $30 and 45 minutes of time and my rims looks brand new.

[@MarkDickinson]

Glad it helped!

[@jcyphert]

Saved me 250$ !! Result is 8/10 (which I am more than happy with on my 92k miles M3). Thank you sir!!

[@tiborhorvath1702]

Wow! I’m impressed!! I just got my first curb rash on my 22 GT today.. only 20,000 kilometres 😭 It was worth it though.. my dad had to go to the hospital and he comes first.. (he is ok by the way) I’m gonna give this a shot later on in the week.. looks like a great and easy fix! Luckily the part of the wheel that got curbed was silver… the black part never got any damage. It shouldn’t be too hard… it’s machined silver for me so I assume sanding it down and then maybe adding some clear coat may help? Might be easier I don’t need to paint it.

[@doccock1662]

Yeahhh no loud “HEY GUYS BLAH BLAH MY TESLA WHEEL” just straight to the point

[@Lpshaw4661]

I got my first curb rash at 4,000 miles. It hurts my soul just thinking about. Definitely gonna try this!

[@silvestercappel5221]

Best one I've seen yet. Simple talks you through it, perfect. Thanks for sharing

[@Ramz_Uncut]

Don't you need to add clear on it? And prime it a little before? Won't the paint just come off eventually with water? I know it's a quick fix, but just wondering

[@amyholloway1691]

Great video! Simple and to the point. Anybody can do this.

[@DJH3ARTL3SS]

I got curb rash on my Model S today but this makes me feel better. Thank you!!!!!

[@michaelsuzio4268]

@@Ramanhere468 no I returned it to a pretty dark airport parking garage nope nobody noticed...the rim was sharpied in really dark the tire chunk was glued pretty decently too...I like to save money and rarely get rental car insurance or get some minimum policy

bro I love everything about your approach you give me confidence for my touch up everyone on youtube makes it way more complicated than it has to be but I guess their is value in what they do too anyways! thanks

Is it rubbing alcphol ? The 3rd one

[@Deliweez]

What brand or kind of paint ?

[@aznbro5559]

This works on other cars too thanks for the info!!!!

[@Skavatar789]

my wife has had her M3 for 10 months and 3 wheels have curb rash. even though on paper the treads of the tires (235/45R18 = 9.25 inch) are similar width of the wheel (18x8.5 inch), the side wall angles in from the rim of the wheel to the tread, which causes the rim of the wheel to stick out further than the side wall. my sportage sx doesn't have curb rash b/c it comes with 235/55R18 tires where the side wall bulges out a bit. and also the factory wheels are an inch more narrow @ 18x7.5 i've heard of some M3 owners going with a wider 245 tire after they wear through the factory tires.

[@djsthemetereman]

This is a great video & I'm gonna try it

[@karluk7724]

Excellent bud🙂👍🇬🇧

[@brentlanyon4654]

what paint was used?

[@karl_willzwilliams3269]

How would you do this with a silver alloy

[@dennischen8887]

How are you able to properly match the paint on those rims? I have a set of aftermarket wheels with some curb rash. They’re silver but I don’t want the paint to look off.

[@tedantares2751]

I have a stupid question: why does Tesla make the wheels that are highly susceptible to curb rash? Why don't they simply change the design of the wheels?

[@pepepez6335]

Every wheel is going to get curb rash if you scrape the curb. Doesn't matter what car it is

[@Skavatar789]

they can go with a smaller wheel and larger tire size. even though on paper the treads of the tires (235/45R18 = 9.25 inch) are similar width of the wheel (18x8.5 inch), the side wall angles in from the rim of the wheel to the tread, which causes the rim of the wheel to stick out further than the side wall. my wife has had her M3 for 10 months and 3 wheels have curb rash. my sportage sx doesn't have curb rash b/c i run 235/60R18 tires where the side wall bulges out a bit. and also the factory wheels are 18x7.5

[@wadest1163]

I did some research you need the gunpowder satin for the 21-inch model wide performance and of them offer it and spray cigar results won't be as good

You are winning in life my man thank you!

[@screampillow3360]

Not perfect, but definitely does the job, and for just an hour or so of my time and a few bucks, this is adequate. Thanks for sharing!

I swap out tires and rims at tire change primer would have made it look better but thanks!

[@niltonc.7333]

The problem always is, it is much easier to curb harsh again and again, so how much effort you really want to put n it if not selling the car, thanks for the video.

Great video. Should work well for the minor curb rash (ugh!) I just noticed on my 2022 Model 3. What color paint did you use? The Amazon link to the paint you used does not show a Tesla option. I think I have the same standard 18" wheels you have. They look sort of silver color. Thanks.

[@joey5picks]

Dupli-Color AFM0360 Dark Shadow Gray Ford

[@markfriend867]

Thanks. Correct. Found that elsewhere and have used it twice. Color match is near-perfect.

[@Rabiiid]

I might actually try this. Ive recently jumped into doing my own paint work and im surprised how easy it actually is and unnecessary to fork out hundreds of dollars. Like $150 per rim is just too much, I dont have tesla rims but i'd rather just buy a new rim for my car at those prices hahahah

[@doantube22]

The sad thing is going on tour is the largest income creator for groups now due to streaming their music. Album sales revenue are basically non existent. Now seeing a band on tour is not even real! This is a terrible look for musical acts! These groups depend on ticket sales and t shirts and merchandise to make a living! Why would you pay huge prices to see these groups simply act like they are doing their music live!! Im completely shocked that people will fall for this! I will never go to a concert again for these prices!!! It’s ridiculous that you can’t trust what you’re spending your money for!! Thanks Fil

Do you know the Dupli-Color for 21" Performance Uberturbine wheel? The Dark Shadow Gray in the link is for the 20" wheel. The colors are different between the two.

[@FlossyZach]

So if you kept sanding down with the 400, once you used primer (if you wrere to like you wre saying) after the coat of primer I could sand that down with 400 or would you go higher and finer?

Yeah to 800 or even more and wetsand 1200 maybe.

[@jakubhladil5340]

Guys dont do this you will have crazy overspray and it will start peeling from the sides because there is no sanded area for paint to stick to. It might even peel in the sanded area because he didnt even clean properly after sanding. Also you will get tons of overspray on your fenders like this. Maybe will last a few months but not a good repair at all.
