Didn't take long. Less than a month. I'm gonna use these guys. I used them before...their work is very good. Hard to tell where the repair spot is.
Anyway, 1 second ruins the day but WTH for about $100 it's repairable. Can always be worse right? I might buy another wheel & tire and use the rashed as a spare...or Maybe I can DIY. It's a Black Crown Spoke...know where I can get matching spray paint?
You guys have a rash stories you'd like to share. Misery loves company

paint is easy to come by if you know the secrets

find the color code and go to any of many automotive paint suppliers several of which will load a rattle can......

now you'll have a mismatched wheel to go along with the bumpers

 

You're gonna need me for advice after I master the art of DIY.... I might start my own cable channel. "Man with a can"....spray that is

 

I'd just go ahead and get a personalized tag "Patches"

 

Perfect. Thank you.

 

except... I would take the rim off to paint it

 

these have been refinished more than once.... Magnesium and tire changers don't mix

 

I need your support and was hoping you would park next to me while I'm spraying...
Seriously....good suggestion. Paint travels everywhere when spraying. Think I'll do the patch / sanding while it's on the Mini and remove it before priming/painting...do not want to get any paint one the funny looking bumper covers..

 

hum... might just improve them... ......... BTW I've done enough touch up and repainting to know that paint WILL get where you don't want it

 

I watched a guy outside of PEP BOYS spraying his worthless POS in the wind with cars parked next to him. My Mini was a few days old....you know I was parked in Jitney/Shuttle distance.

 

gotta love em

 

If I saw that I would tell the management and everyone in the store.

 

This was the guys car.... right

 

Sorry I didn't.....I was too concerned with getting my Coop out of the lot.

 

it probably was the manager

 

Looks like my X-wife's ride.
