What to Do If the Rim Gets Scratched?
1 Answers
The treatment for scratched rims is as follows: 1. Inspect the damage. If the inner part of the rim is not affected, you can perform a simple repair. Use paint thinner to clean the area around the scratch and remove dirt; 2. For the deepest part of the scratch, dirt may be hard to remove. In this case, use a toothpick to thoroughly clean it; 3. To avoid accidentally painting unaffected areas, carefully apply masking tape around the scratch; 4. Prepare the brush tip and apply touch-up paint. Since the paint will shrink slightly as it dries, it's best to apply it slightly raised; 5. After application, allow it to dry completely, which may take about a week. Once dry, use waterproof paper dipped in soapy water to smooth the surface.
