Hello guys. So I was replacing my rear brake pads yesterday with my personal mechanic, we had a very hard time taking the wheels off, so we used a happier to pound the tire a bit til it came off. During that time my mechanic missed the tire and hit the inner wheel causing approx 6cm of chipped paint! fML. Anyway, just want to know if there is anyway to cover this with some sort of primer or clear coat as it is noticeable to me. I know it's in the inner part but it is killing me right now, knowing that I have a stone chip type of peel and would like to cover it up with something. Style 167 wheels. So anything gray w clear oat can work for me. I need something that can bond with the allow.

My question : can leaving the chip unattended cause rust?

 

*hammer. . Damn iPhone auto spell check

I will post a pic soon

 

aluminum....


Don't worry

 

really? not worry at all?? I know no one can see it but I know its there and its really bothering me, anything I can do to cover it ??? is there a good primer or bonding agent i can use?

Thanks

 

i know the quality is very poor. I will try to get another shot later after work.

 

luickly it was the inner wheel so no one sees is. u can always go to autozone and get some sandpapers and some similar colored spray paint aand clean it up some

 

Look into some type of touch up paint for the wheel as a start. I could't really see how much damage was done to the wheel. Or if it bother you that much have it professionaly done.

Use a rubber mallet to hit the tire. Much less chance of marring the wheel.

Clean your wheel hubs and apply anti-seize compound to them to avoid the rust (having to use a hammer).

 

Hope this is better,

I will get some touch up paint, add some layers.

Thanks

 

6cm? Looks more like 6mm
That is nothing to worry about. But if it bothers you, get a touchup brush pen and coat it a few times.

 

I wish I had problems like that...
