Oh God I damaged my wheel with metal brush and some rough sandpaper....damn!

bmwdiesel · 08-16-2018, 01:54 PM

so basically, wheels bmw 230 style, I wanted some cheap fix for my curbed alloys, and front turned out nice as I only brushed it with some fine sandpaper, and even tho there are marks on the edges, it is still ok, considering I used only black spray paint.
but back I decided to be little more aggressive with those sctarched edges, so i brushed it with some metal brush and there are hair deep scratches from it and it's all over the place. I also made some bumps and tears on this wheel as I tried to put thick coat so it will level all the scratches, but it turned out real bad....

any tip on how to fix it?

I might make a pic tomorrow so you can have an idea what it looks like...

Either get them refinished at a place that actually knows what they're doing, or sand/blast the wheel until it's bare and start over.

Try sanding it down smooth then shape some bondo to it. Let it dry, sand it again smooth. Tape off whatever needs to be and spray paint the wheels again. Spray about 3-4 coats, letting each coat dry in between. Apply 2-3 coats of clear doing the same method.

I would sand it down and apply a couple coats of primer, then sand with 1000 grid and then repaint.
