VZ3 Wheel Repair - Or Any Copper Copper Coloured Wheel

[Gb330vz3]

My localised repair is this Thursday coming. I'll report back on the result!

Be surprised if they can match the colour mate. Apparently even if you get a new wheel the shade could be different. With the colour shade in the laquer even 1/2 coat heavier will change the colour finish.
They might look at it and just ask you to go and get it done professionally.

That

Sounds like great service from DWV.

It is good in the end but would have been better and less hassle should they have sent it for professional repair in the first place. The amount the fitter took off will make it more difficult for the wheel repair guy to match them all. And all the running around to get it sorted was at my expense

I accept that a repair won't be perfect, but I'm looking at the fact that any toning down of the scuff is better than nothing.

id have been happier if the colour matched somewhere near. Even the black wasn’t anywhere near haha.

I'm very happy to report that the wheel repair went exceedingly well and beyond my expectations.

I was expecting a 'toning down' of the scuff at best due to the seemingly legendary difficulty of matching the copper colour, but Ricky at RMO Alloys in Sutton, Surrey, did a superb job. You'd need to look quite hard to see that any repair has been done.

Find him on Facebook and Messenger at RMO Alloys. He operates within a 70 mile radius of Sutton, so quite a wide area.

Highly recommended to sort out our copper wheels!
