Default scratch

It can be fixed through a series of stages .Blending it in is what the problem is ,you dont want to have a big rut or gully in just one spot

uuhh... so i have this friend, who just bought the Bronze falken hanabies and ran into a curb scratching the lip on both the rear and front wheels.
so could my friend just buy some bronze paint (not spray) and sand the lip, make it smooth, apply a primer and paint the ____ outta of it?
...my 'friend' would really appreciate any advice here.

Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara are supposed to be the best, but they are also notoriously slow. I see a lot of BMW and porsche wheels there. I also see a lot of Works there too.

Or you can just give them to me

I have painted allow wheels and I just had some damage repaired last week. I talked the guy doing the work and he said they can fix almost anything other than chrome.

www.mobilewheelrepair.com It's a nationwide company. I don't know the prices. The company that damaged my rims took care of that.

in case anyone else has this problem, check out this site (simple "curb rash" google):

that seems like it may work, we'll just have to find out.

Why would you let your "friend" borrow your ride? He might be your boy but that doesn't mean he can borrow your ride. Personally I'd make your "friend" buy you two new rims. In the future, tell your "friend" I don't mack on your lady, don't borrow my wheels. I don't even let a valet park my Tc. That guy can get his own Tc.

I curbed my polished lip also. I started off using a corse metal file and worked my way to finer and finer ones until it was smooth. Someone told me to use clear finger nail polish to seal it. So far so good.
