Paint on alloy failing

[Godsense]

So, Ive spotted this. I'm super confident I haven't kerbed it. Plus doesn't feel like it looks like that kind of damage.

Looking for opinions, looks to me like the paint could be failing? I had a search around but couldn't find anything similar.

I've had the car 12 months now and all the others are spotless.

Doesn't look like failing paint to me. I would say that's the result of contact ... a kicked up stone or other debris from another vehicle most likely.

A stone or something else has whacked it.

A noteworthy achievement.

Yep it is a miracle to have it a year and that's the only damage. As the alloys are almost flat with the tyre, they are so vulnerable.

A mobile smart repair will be easy and low cost, remember it may happen again and so a repair that's almost perfect is probably good enough. Easy to Google for local mobile alloy repair and get several quotes and ask what the repair will look like.

There are two kinds of Tesla wheels. Ones that have been kerbed and ones that havent been kerbed yet ;-)

Haha thanks, unbelievable careful to the extreme. Between that and trying not to get dinged!

Thanks for the advise, will have a look round for a smart repair.

Hi, did you find/get a repair? I have a very similar chip on just one of my front wheels. I have to give the car back to the work lease company soon (as I'm changing job), so don't want to get a more expensive bill for it.

Ones that have been nerved and ones that haven’t been driven on yet
