CURB
RASH REPAIR

Curb rash repair is a cosmetic-only and non-structral repair to remove rashes, pits, chips, scratches, peeling or faded clearcoats, and other blemishes. The process includes removing damaged areas with a 5-step preparation process of sanding and polishing, then color-matching the paint. and blending a 1k automotive paint onto the repaired areas.

WHAT IS CURB RASH REPAIR?

Curb rash repair is a cosmetic-only and non-structral repair which includes removing damaged areas by sanding, then color-matching and blending paint over the repaired areas.

Curb rash repair involves painting the repaired areas, therefore only powder-coated/ painted rims can be repaired this way. Polished, chrome (bright or dark), and machined rims require special treatments without using paint.

We perform on-vehicle rim repairs so you would need to leave your vehicle for the duration of the repair. Time estimate is generally 2-5 hours with appointment.

Paint Match Note

It is impossible to get an exact color and sheen match of paint on powder-coated surfaces as they are inherrently different systems. Also, due to the many factors affecting powder-coated and painted surfaces, such sun-fading, humidity, salts, brake dust, road grime, etc affecting the surface for years, even a factory paint by code would not match properly. So while there is no exact science, we rely on a tried-and-true process and strive to provide an "unnoticable paint-match" to more accurately match the true condition of your wheels. Most customers are surprised they cannot find the repaired areas when they return to their vehicle.
