Cant ****** believe my luck just come back from work and hit a rock or stone in the road and its put a nasty dent in my alloy , want to get it sorted asap can i do this sort of job myself with filler n spay it.Attachment 46900

Yep filler and spray mate think the colour code is star silver number 2 for alloys or somet like that

[nelly452]

would that be a perfect colour match or would i have to do the whole wheel.

[paulvectrac]

Not very shore if am honest mate someone will defo no they will be along soon

[nelly452]

ive touched up alloys before but nothing like this , what sort of filler does it have to be.

[Big Dave]

If it were me, I'd also be concerned about the cut in the side of the tyre.

[cont1204]

As Dave says, I'd be more concerned about the tyre itself. It depends on how deep the gash goes and if it's on the thicker part of the sidewall. Might want to get a tyre place to cast an eye over it quickly.

[nelly452]

yeah deffo the cut in the tyre isnt deep so it should be ok , just really gutted about the damage , and god my wheels and brakes are dirty.

[benholden2010]

Star silver is a good match but not perfect. It's metallic and the standard snowflake colour isn't.

I've repaired Mine and from a distance you can't tell

I'd be more worried about possible splits/cracks in the alloy, as it's quite common on snowflakes to start with

[nelly452]

had the tyre and wheel checked out today and all is ok thank god , just wondering what filler to use now but there is so many to choose from.
