When I first bought my car, the previous owner had curbed up all my wheels pretty badly. I want to paint my wheels close to my PS. With the polished part of the wheel painted darker, kindof like a gunmetal look. What would be the best way to remove the scratches, is it possible?

 

you'll have strip all the finish off of the wheels to paint them with aircraft paint stripper, then you can probably sand down then wetsand the curb rash areas.

 

Someone on here sanded them down to get them nice and rough and then took bondo and filled the scrapes...

Anyone know how durable this stuff is on an aluminum wheel?

 

i wonder how jb weld compares to bondo spot putty for this job

 

someone did it I know they did because i said the same thing. I questioned it at first but when i saw how it came out, i was amazed. It looked like the wheel was brand new...
