Powercoated alloy - Touch up?

[matt_132]

Because of some complete bellend stopping on a blind bend yesterday, I had to put the car onto the kerb instead of up his rear.

My question is, can powder coated alloys be touched up? The kerbing isn't that bad, I'll attach a picture.

This is the reason I didn't get mine powder coated as I was told its a nightmare and normally requires a full re powder coating to fix it

This is exactly what I was told when I had mine done as well. Can't be filled and sprayed like you would a painted wheel so for a proper repair it would need to be re-done.

Nothing stopping you painting the mark in with a similar colour though. I did this on my cheapo 172 as the wheels were kerbed when I got it. Certainly doesn't draw your eye like to the silver kerb marks like it used too.

That's what I thought. I did think of that Alex, but my OCD wouldn't allow it. Sake!
