Scuffed black 666m touch-up help please :(

mbj666 · 08-01-2018, 01:32 PM

hi all,

had really bad day and to finish off managed to scuff passenger side front alloy wheel due to some idiot forcing their way down a road when i had right of way

.....gutted really as car only a month old

alloys are 20" black 666Ms

after a bit of advice on how to get it touched up/repaired i know BMW dealer offers this service but am wanting to know if its any good

scuff is about 1.5 inches long on outer rim of alloy (tyre side)

advice greatly received

(oh yeah am based in cumbria too)

anyone had any experience having had their alloys touched up and whether they came out ok

am willing to travel seen services offered which look like powder coating then re-milling the edge before new clear lacquer applied

just wanting canvas some views before i pull the trigger, currently waiting on quotes back for repair

thanks

I would avoid any main dealer and go with a proper re-furb company. Just make sure they are powder coated if they need paint

It's a full acid dip powder coat then machine cut then lacquer so about £100 I would say.

cheers for advice guys, so glad checked here first, got the alloy shipped to specialist via local bmw garage (ignored their in house offer of doing it) for re powder coat, machine cut, etc

back to looking good as new again

I believe the 666M is painted and not powder coated. Smoked grey with machined edge, possible polish and then tinted lacquer finish - I am led to believe.
