Recently had some curb rash on my front driver side rim that was repaired. I wanted to post some before and after pics for anyone with the same problem. He was actually recommended by my BMW SA. He did an outstanding job, especially considering my rims are powder coated black. The best part about the whole thing is he comes to you! He was at my house for no more than an hour and a half and the wheel looks brand new! He mostly works in the Sacramento area, but I'm sure you could arrange a place if you live outside of that. He charged me $100 to repair the rash and refinish the rest of the wheel. Some of the gloss on the paint was beginning to fade from all the brake dust and normal wear and tear. He did such a great job, once the rain finishes up here I'm having him come out to refinish the rest of my wheels. Anyways.. Here are the pics and his info. I will also post his info in the Dealer and Service section with a link to this thread as well. Nick Kovalcin-916.316.6870. Formula One Inc. Thanks guys and watch out for them curbs..

Before pics. (Taken from iPhone, sorry)

Yes very fair considering he comes to you. You camt see too well in the picture but a pretty good chunk of the wheel was taken off. Also being able to match the paint that well.

Very nice. I need to do the same thing to my wheels. The previous owner drove by brail, using the curbs as guides. All 4 wheels :thumbsdown:
