I was driving on a narrow road and someone called my cell. When i fliped it open my car swerved just a little and scraped the curb. I was sooo ____ed. Here is a picture..please somone tell me a way to fix it...

 

can you sand it down and paint it?

 

i am not a car expert, so i prolly could but I have no idea how to go about fixing this. Does anyone know of a guide to fix it and what materials I would need?

 

autopia is your friend.

 

Cleaned up and moved to T&B

 

yikes, two of my rims are just like that.. its all good though, i plan on gettin' new rims and using the stock ones as back up.. i don't know if you are able to fix them.. is the rims backed up by warranty at the dealer? or is it just the tires.. i forgot what they told me about the wheels..

 

OOUCH! curbbage!!!!

aw just get them powdercoated like ScottsdaleTC his trd's are insane

 

cell phones shouldn't be used when driving if you can't answer you phone without swerving. thank goodness no one was next to you.

seriously though, i suggest you stay off the phone. hope the link helps you out.

 

i fixed one of my rims, you can try 1000 grit sandpaper to make is smooth, dab some anthricite paint on it, its not going to repair it, but it will be less noticiable. sorry it happened to you......rims are like children

 

Found this helpful. Hate scratches on rims. especially mine!

Did not realize this link was the same article as above. but the pictures are bigger on this like i provided.

 

awww bummer... that hurts

 

awesome link... but does that Can of duplicolor work for the OEM base 05 scion tc rims as well?

 

I got some color matched paint for my rims. I got a glass fiber sanding pen to clean out the gash, then painted real thin coats over and over until it got built back up. Now, you can barely tell I curbed the rims unless you get down and look really close at the rims.

 

Where did you get the paint? Kragen, pepboys? If so which brand is it so I can look for it. Also if you have time can you link me to the pictures of the finished product?? or email me boostedtc@hotmail.com

Thanks
