Gutter Rash on Detroits - advice please!

That does sound impressive and $160 it's great.

Here are some pics of my wheels, which i posted on another forum a few weeks back...

There were multiple chips, put this is the same spot (before and after)

This is a rash

It might look like there is a white smog, but there isn't, just the iphone and the angle and light etc.

$160 per wheel is excessive IMO. You can get them professional refinished for a few dollars more in any colour you want with multiple coats of clear and it's all baked on. I would have concerns about using wheel cleaner or using a pressure spray on them after the repair.

Depending on the damage, I'd be touching them up with a $10 bottle of touch up paint that you can buy from ebay (uk generally) that exactly matches the wheel. I had two wheels with stone chips that I'd touched up and the purchaser couldn't find where the two spots were after being repaired.

well each to their own really... i only went to this place, as they don't have to take the wheels off, and have my car out of action for a day or 2. it was quick, and you've got to pay the price.

They did a very good job, they coat the wheel like they do at the manufacturers.

But hey, just putting in my 2 cents.
