Rim repainting / repair (Step by Step)

Wrote this up to help people repaint / repair rims.
Took me a while to do myself, and I hope this helps anyone else who wants to do it :slight_smile:

nice

That write up is SUPER good.

Excellent write up. Im bookmarking it so I never lose it. Send Neil an email aswell asking if it vould be added to the tegtips section because it would really fit perfectly there.

thats an awesome writeup. one question though… how is the putty holding up?? in general that spot putty sucks ass for bodywork. did you consider using a 2 part finishing putty?? just wondering if you had tried it as well and had different results?

The putty has held up PERFECTLY (this is his bro btw). I’d reccomend using it if you want. You could also use something like JBWeld if you wanted. Those rims have gone through 2 tire mountings, countlless hours on the road, hard acceleration, hard cornering and they’re absolutly flawless…

If you’ve got deep cuts in your rims (to the point where it’s impairing the structural integrity of the rim) then obviously using putty wouldn’t be a good idea. This is meant for minor scruffs and curbage… I’d take it to a rim repair place if they’re that bad.

Link is dead…

sure is

Gimme a few days fellas, I’ll have it fixed…switching over servers and im busy with college finals right now…I’ll get it sorted out.

Only reason I noticed was because I was looking at it every couple of days, and picked up the stuff to fix my Fat Fives next weekend. It’s a great writeup!
