Plasti dip?

If those came off of your car I think you’d be better off spending money on parking/driving lessons.

Seeing as those are TL wheels, you might want to have them checked for straightness first. If you sneeze too hard on those they bend.

I repaired those wheels myself. They were badly scratched, and paint was peeling off. I sanded all the imperfections with sandpaper, up to about 400 grade, then 6 coats of plastidip (more colors available). Total cost: about 60$! Don’t remove the dip, though

Sand paper then plastidip.

Can confirm. I sneezed as I was getting into my dad’s CL and the damn things nearly flew off the hubs.
Lol I keed I keed.

I read that Plastidip isn’t a good thing to use because you wouldn’t be able to see if the wheel is cracked.

I’d give them the MCM repair then.

I feel your pain, I had a local shop weld and file the WS6 wheels I bought. They did a terrible job.
