alloy wheel flake!!!

Postby msmorrissey » Sun Feb 12, 2006 5:45 am

Wondering if anyone has a touch up fix for this? My drivers side alloy has clipped the odd kerb in its day and now a rather large piece of chrome has flaked off leaving the black underneath. Is there a a chrome paint or similar that I can touch up these chips? thanks :roll:

You could touch it up with silver paint but it ain't gonna look right, theres a place on Blackhorse Avenue that refurbs alloys, it might be worth giving them a shout: http://www.goldenpages.ie/search.ds?new ... +7&x=0&y=0

Hi there,

This crowd don't do repairs apparently mainly if the alloy needs a weld etc...cracks and dents only.

Eblana - 6761382 - Frank McDonald - This Guy will sand down damaged alloys / repair scraps and scuffs. Ranging from 70 - 100 euro per wheel.
I'm really thinking about getting this done before the summer .... or before the meet if a miracle happens. I told him FTO-Ireland sent me so maybe mention it!!

Engineering Company - Welding Alloys / Magnesium etc - Billy Hollingsworth or Tony Kavanagh.
