When i bought my car it had some damage to the wheels and I think it's about time I did something with them. I like the wheel style but I was thinking of going black.
How well do wheels come out spray painted or is it worth getting them repaired and coated?
Or just get new wheels and sell these. That is the worst of the damage and the rest is general kerb rash

You might as well fix it before you paint it rather than after.

Get them fixed up and painted at the same time.

Spray putty sand prime and paint than curb again then repeat but just D.I.Y it saves some $$$. They will look ok for a home job unless you want a show car finish than pay someone.

I would say get them repaired and powedercoated.

Check this out for examples: https://www.facebook.com/pages/No1-Powdercoating/427618367313137

I had my SSV rims, three with gutter rash, repaired blasted and coated for $300! Best powder coating job I've ever seen!

was that each or all 4?

looking for something like this is Brissie for a friend, they have some wheels that the clear has gone funky on, no damage just I dunno hard to describe but it's kind of peeling (GM rims).

I'd hope that it would be all four and not each, lol.

If it was $300 each, you might as well spend a little more and get a set of new rims. Would have to be for all 3?
