I use a Dremel with miniature grinding wheel to reduce any alloy burrs, finish with fine emery paper, wash with methylated spirits and then prime/paint.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I always end up getting one or two minor scrapes on my wheels. Not being inclined to the cost/hassle of professional refurb and always aware of the risk of doing it again a month later (Doh!) I fix them myself. For anyone who is interested, the best colour match I have found for standard 981 wheels is Toyota Silver Steel - available from your local Halfords. (If you need a primer, use white) Very pleased with the result. 95% good as new.

POST 2Original post

Nice one. Do you grind them smooth first? If so, any tips on how you do that?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

EGTE_RPF said: Do you grind them smooth first? If so, any tips on how you do that? IMO the less "preparation" you have to do, the better. But sometimes there will be rough edges. I use a Dremel with miniature grinding wheel to reduce any alloy burrs, finish with fine emery paper, wash with methylated spirits and then prime/paint. It may not sound sophisticated but it works for me!
