anyone know of a DIY for fixing scratches wheels? I thought I'd seen one somewhere but can't seem to find it. Thanks guys

 

i have bbs rgr wheels. i took 600 grit sand paper and carefully sanded the scracth as smooth as possible and then went to automotive store to match the paint. i actually bought a silver to match the other audi and another darker metalic one and hand mixed the two in a tray till i was satisfied with the color. put on about 3 coats and it looks pretty good. probably not what a professional would do, but i'm satisfied. cost was $7.00 for each paint color.

 

www.a4mods.com has the DIY just for that with pics

 

hmmm... i have the stock 17s that the car came with so i would have to imagine they'd have a color to match... any ideas on what a shop would charge??... pisses me off because my car went into the dealer for 2 days because i had a misfire due to a bad coil right after i got it back for my 40,000 mile servicing. About 3 days later i noticed scratches on each of the 5 spokes as if someone had rubbed a curb pretty hard... I knew i hadn't hit anything or any curbs so the only thing i could come up with was it happened while at the dealer... too bad i didn't notice it sooner because i would have confronted them about it... now they're just going to say i did it...

 

a shop would charge way too much, the DIY seems like a pretty easy and cheap job, I'd say just suck it up and DIY
