Rim Repairs
 
Hello,

Got a slight graze on one of my Work Emo's - Just been told by Alliance Rim Repair's (Mark), they can't match the paint and have to re-do the whole rim. This would mean I would have to do them all and am obviously not keen.

Anyone know of any other Perth rim repairers who can do this?

Surely a proper paint shop will be able to fix it / match the colour. Try Owen and Melthams Rich

Leave it and test a new theory for me.

Does rash get the gash??

:D

I suspect not Kato.

... Kym .. So you're saying find out that someone can match it, then go back to Alliance and tell them it can be done?

I thought Alliance would be more professional and actually seek out the paint colour. I would rather not have to do the hard yards for them. That is their job.

This is reminding me of the trying to find the place in Perth that can match the Brembo colour.

Or will Melthams actually repair the rim?

I had some work done by Owen from Meltham Motors before.

Graze was fixed up and was perfect. Very happy with his work and a top bloke to deal with :D

hope that helps.

Cheers mate. It's on the way to work so might drop by and try my luck :)

Mysterious work emotion colour shrouded in japanese paint secrets it seems, hrrm.

yeah I am suggesting Owen at Melthams to fix the rim. It's just a sanding and repainting, and I'd bet they can match the colour close enough you'd never know it was sprayed.

Thanks Kym. Went and saw Owen, they are going to give it a crack.

Saw your rims and front bumper in there. :)

Possibly the slightly frosted finish on those style wheels is the issue rather than the colour??

RichX 20-10-2012 09:52 AM

Yeah dunno mate. Maybe, they are more of a matte finish than gloss for sure.

Worst case, if they don't match it correctly or not happy wit hit, I do all 4 to get them the same again.
