How to Repair Scratched Wheels 𖥞

Tesla cars come in various forms, styles, and sizes. Known for stylish design and a car of the future, Tesla wheels are a critical part of the car and its aesthetic. Despite the advanced technology, these cars are also exposed to scratches, scuffs, and curb rash. Avoid any minor imperfections to keep your Tesla's appearance and resale value.

With a bunch of various finishes available, it is important to identify the right wheel finish to achieve excellent results in repair. If you are unsure about the finish, ask the professionals. Tesla finishes are as follows:

  • Painted Silver: A classic and durable finish.
  • Gloss Black: A sleek and modern look.
  • Matte Black: A more aggressive and sporty style.
  • Machined/Diamond Cut: Features a combination of painted and exposed metal surfaces.
  • Powder Coated: Offers exceptional durability and a wide range of color options.

The second important thing to identify is the type of scratch, whether it is a minor scuff or a deep gouge. Among various damage, such as minor scuffs, light scratches, deep scratches, curb rash, and gouges. Therefore, the detection of scratch severity determines the repair approach. 

Steps to Follow When the Scratch is Minor 🔍

Success in repair work strongly depends on discipline and the sequence of actions. Whether the damage is minor or major, we always start with cleaning it. Using soap and water, remove all dirt, grease, and debris. It helps have a better vision and understanding of the damage. Then comes the sanding process. We sand it with fine-grit sandpaper to blend the scratch with the surrounding paint. Next, we apply primer if the scratch is minor without a significant depth. This thin coat will prime the damaged area. We care to dry the primer completely. Painting follows the priming process. We go above and beyond to find the paint that perfectly matches your car wheel and finish. We finalize the repair process by applying a clear coat to protect the paint, activating its gloss, and polishing the car once the coat is dry.

Steps to Follow When the Scratch is Complex

Minor scratch repair is easy enough, and you can afford to rely on DIY repair. Major scratch is a complex issue. Here, you can’t survive without professionals. Trust Regal Repair if you seek quality and peace. Our comprehensive solutions will grant you complete satisfaction and exceptional results. 

Our process typically involves a scratch inspection to assess the extent of damage, a repair phase, stripping (if needed), and then priming (we exceptionally apply a high-quality primer). The next phase of repair involves painting or powder coating (it depends on the car type), clear coating, and balancing.
