Wheel paint/repair shop/person in SoCal recommendation?

ALTANertive · 10-18-07, 11:15

One of my wheels was curbed slightly a month or so ago. It looks like the paint was strippeed off about a 1"-2" portion of the lip. Doesn't look like much if any wheel damage. The wheel color however is not a standard color. It is arctic silver and is metallic. Can someone recommend a shop/person/mobile that can fix this and does good color matching? TIA.

Try dealerships, its common for dealerships that sell pre-owned certified cars to use a guy that does mobile wheel refinishing, get his number and see. I have had it done a number of times by a guy whos info I got from the local Acura dealership. He does GREAT work at about $75/wheel.

I called Son Tran but he never called back.
Had it done by Rob. He's mobile also. He did a great job. Highly recommended.

Glad to hear it worked out for you

Does it look stock again?

I have aftermarket wheels. The color is arctic silver. It's a metallic color so I was worried he wouldn't be able to match the flake. I can't tell where the scrape was now. He also painted my rotor hats because they looked rusty.
