E-TECH Complete Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Repair Kit - Silver - AW-KIT-01

Product Information

Easy to apply, but requires good sanding preparation. I used a detail sander starting with 120 paper up to 600. After that, hand sanding with 1000, 1500 and 2000. It produced a near perfect, factory-like finish on a badly flaking and scratched wheel. This solution is much cheaper than sending it to a wheel restoration shop. Be sure to use a clear coat after you apply the color. Wear a good filter mask and have adequate ventilation.” The damage may still be visible up-close even after your repair. And these kits only come in a limited range of colours, so your repair could stand out even more if the colour isn’t a perfect match. If this worries you, then a professional wheel repair specialist is probably a better choice, as they use a colour-matching machine to make sure the repaired area is noticeable. The Scratch Doctor’s Alloy Repair Kit is the professional and easy way to repair scuffs, scrapes and kerb damage on alloy wheel rims.

Alloy wheel repair kits work by filling the damage, to create an even surface. They then repaint the area.

Wet your sandpaper. This softens it, stops it clumping and reduces the risk of scratch marks. Keep rinsing it in more water as you work.

Simply Xtreme Alloy Repair Kit provides a professional alloy wheel repair kit for factory-painted alloy wheels. This kit contains full instructions on how to repair your silver wheel's scuffs and scrapes at a fraction of the cost of most repair outlets. The Visbella DIY Alloy Wheel Repair Kit is a complete kit with everything you need. It even includes paint that matches the paint on most OEM alloy wheels. One Visbella kit is enough to repair minor damages, such as: The kits work best when you take the wheels off the car and lay them out on a flat surface. This will stop the paint running. You should have a range of sandpapers, including very fine grain, like 600. Rougher sandpaper can make it difficult to get a smooth finish. We wish we could give you a magic number, but there’s not one. Each kit contains a certain amount of filler, paint, and other tools and materials. If the damage on your wheels is severe, then your kit may only have enough materials to repair one or two wheels. If the damage is minor, then you may be able to use the kit on all four wheels.Most – if not all – of the kits have resealable containers for filler and paint. That means if only one wheel has damage, you can repair it and then save the kit until another wheel gets damaged in the future. What Kind Of Wheel Does Each Kit Repair? Now you need to fill in the damaged area. If you’re using filler putty, mix a small amount and press it deep into the holes. Massaging it will smooth it out any lumps. Aim to get it as level with the surrounding area as possible. Tip: If using putty filler, make sure you only mix a small amount at a time, otherwise it could set in the tray before you manage to use it. I’ve used this kit to repair a deep scratch and some small areas of wheel rash on 3 wheels from a VW Golf and a Mini. The color match is excellent and the repairs are virtually undetectable. Technique is important. If you prep the area and sand carefully, you should be very pleased with the results. I did have to sand and respray an area on one wheel because I had a paint drip, but it came out fine. I’m not sure how well other wheel colors match up, but it’s perfect for VW and Mini. Note that I only did spot refinishing, not the whole wheel, a little polishing after the paint is fully dry makes the blended area undetectable.”
