So this morning I was whipping a sh*tty and thought I could make it. I heard that awful sound of metal contacting the curb. Needless to say the inside of my car heard some words it prolly has never heard. "Fortunately" is was only the lip of the rim. Does anyone have any tips on how to clean this up?

 

I have no tips for you, but +10 Internets for the phrase "whipping a sh*tty." I've never heard that before and it made me LMAO!

Hope you can get it cleaned up!

 

lol +1

I'm still not sure what happened

All 4 wheels on mine are pretty well ate up.

My dad take a 200 grit sandpaper to his affected areas. and then touch up with an airbrush.

I am afraid mine are beyond that, but if I go to paint them (still undecided) I will probably try the similar.

 

umm some wheel places will do scratch fixes but they almost always say the same thing "its not gonna completely fix it" sooo yea i mean u coiuld sand it and stuff but other then that....be more careful when whipping shttys

 

how exactly does on "whip a sh*tty"

 

hahaha yes, i too am interested in how to 'whip a sh*tty'
you mean taking a corner too fast or like pullin the e-brake tryin to slide thru the turn?

i did something similar in my old probe. it was winter and i was leavin my neighborhood and swervin side to side in the snow and makin the back end fish tail a little when i lost it and whole car slide to the left and into the median curb. only goin 20 mph or less so the only damage was to my ego and the lip of the rim but nothing worth tryin to fix or paying to fix. but yea i suppose sanding it down would be a good start depending on how ate up it is.

 

whipping a sh*tty is just doing a quick u-turn in the middle of the road. not really sure how it got started, but my friends and I use it.

 

aha - down these parts we used to call it "flipping a bitch"

You try to fix your damage yet?

My understanding of how they do it a shop is to strip it, weld some new metal on there, grind it to shape and re-paint.

 

I wouldn't say I fixed it, but it looks better than it did. I just some 220 sandpaper and went over it lightly and smoothed some of the bad parts out. It's a lot cheaper than taking it somewhere, that's for sure.

 

Bam are you from the east coast? I'm from VT and that's what we called donuts.... "doin' sh*tties"
