Wheel repair

[NY SLC 93]

What's the best way to repair a little curbage? I know I cant make it perfect.

Lost the link but I saw DIY instruction on a Audi forum. Or if you don't have the time there are pros that will do it for ~$100 a wheel.

A friend had his wheel repaired on his Porsche 911 turbo. His wife inflicted some curb rash. Fairly deep in a spot or two. He got it professionally repaired and you could not tell where it was damaged. I figured it would be noticable but it wasn't. I don't think you could do a very good job yourself. I do not remember the cost but I think it was cheaper then I had expected...$150-200??? That inculded pulling the tire and rebalancing/mounting it.

Old topic I know, but if you care to elaborate on what the process is called so that I may look for it locally it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

The only problem with wheel repair is the reapired wheel will not 100% match the factory finish on the other 3 wheels... I had one repaired last year and looked great but the color was slightly off from the rest.
