Scraped Wheel - 8thAccord

sonitex · 06-16-2008, 08:28 AM

My 08 EX-L Accord Coupe is six days old, and I scrape my RF Wheel on a concrete curb. Caused some gouging on the outer edge. I used a dremel to smooth out the gouges. Is there anything else I can do to dress up the scrape?

Ugh this happened to me too. So mad. I also don't know what to do. Anyone got advice?

What I wound up doing was after I smoothed out the gouges as best I could, I touched it up wiht a Alabaster Silver Metallic touch up paint. It not as noticeable anymore.

Cool me as well. Never did it with my Civic si but have a few times with this car from parking in the same place. I guess I never learn.

Awesome. My coupe is ASM so I should probably buy some of that touch up paint anyways. Also, I found this on another forum and may try it. (Not with the German car paint though.)
