FAQs

How long does the repair take?

The repair time varies depending on the damage, but expect to spend a few hours, including drying times for putty and paint.

Can I use this kit on steel wheels?

No, this kit is specifically designed for alloy wheels.

Do I need any other tools?

The kit includes all necessary tools. However, you might want additional masking tape or gloves.

How long does the paint last?

The paint's durability depends on usage and care. The lacquer provides a protective layer. However, touch-ups may be necessary.

Is the color match perfect?

The color match depends on the original wheel color. It may not be perfect, but the kit aims to provide a close match.

What if I make a mistake?

If you make a mistake, you can sand down the paint and start again. Use the degreaser to remove any residual paint or debris before reapplying.

Can I use this kit on structural damage?

No, the kit is designed for cosmetic repairs only. Structural damage requires professional attention.

Troubleshooting

Paint color doesn't match

Ensure you've selected the correct paint color for your wheels. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat. Apply several layers to match the original finish.

Putty doesn't adhere well

Make sure the surface is completely clean and dry before applying the putty. Sand the area properly to create a good surface for adhesion.

Lacquer is uneven

Apply the lacquer in thin, even coats, and allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Avoid spraying too much lacquer at once to prevent runs or drips.

Sanding scratches visible after painting

Ensure that sanding is done in stages. Start with coarse sandpaper and work your way to a finer grit to smooth out the surface before painting. Additional sanding after the putty is applied may be required.
