Kerb rash

[runningmanz]

Hi all,

The Mrs kerbed our Model 3 LR pretty bad so wanted to fix up the scratches myself. I have put up with smaller ones for a while but these are quite noticeable. Anyone know a touch up paint available locally from Repco, Supercheap auto etc that matches the 19" rims. I believe the colour is Sonic silver? I can only find touch up kits online from overseas supplier so far.

Cheers!

I used one of those mobile wheel repair guys. $250 to repair and repaint 2 x rims and they came up perfect, cant see any damage at all anymore.

Nice, thanks for the reply! I might just order some from overseas as haven't found anything local for now and have a go at it myself but if I don't like it I'll get a professional later at some stage. Problem is I don't really want to spend too much at this stage as the Mrs will probably just scratch it again lol, so prob wise to learn how to do it myself

Same issue, "Mr" kerbed my Model 3 so badly I had to replace the tyre and now have bad kerb rash... seems he has a problem as he also did it with his new Model Y!! I will use someone to fix it locally.

Or, you can just not care about it, because it will happen again

Would you mind recommending who you used in Sydney?
