alloy wheel repair

Can you buy kits that you can repair kerbing yourself? I'm sure I've seen some before.

3 of my wheels are kerbed and one is flaking, damn claws not paying £60 each for repair.

EDIT: this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...tegoryrn_31336 any good?

yep look in ebay, failing that do google search

anybody used them before? any good? don't wanna spend money and alot of time if it's ruibbish

the kits i saw on ebay were not expensive afew less pints at the wekend worth a try

Is the wheel colour going to match though? Probably not.

that was my thinking, it says "silver paint" but there are loads of different kinds of silver

Look at the contents of the kit

2 x clear gel palstic filler
1 x activator & pump spray
4 x coarse wet & dry
1 x silver paint
1 x wheel mask
1 x masking tape
2 x cleaning wipes
1 x pair of gloves

You could buy the constituents from for alot less than £30 and have enough to refurb all the wheels and a few pints afterwards. A bit of wet and dry, filler, and spray paint is all you need. White spirit would be sufficient to remove any residual grease and who hasn't got a spare pair of gloves, if not £5 for a box of 100.
