I only had a couple of chips in my rim's paintwork (they're black) but now there's like 20 on each bloody side and they're adding up and I have no idea where the fuck they're coming from.

How to fix this? There's now a big one on the rear rim and it's starting to irritate me.

Anywhere I can go to have it fixed for me or do I have to risk doing it myself and fucking up my paintwork?

I was paying about 50 quid per car wheel for a fresh powdercoat.
Lots of places should be able to redo your wheels for you, but realistically with tyre removal and refitting fees etc
you're probably looking at about £130 for the pair. It's a good opportunity to change the colour as well. Wink

Bloody hell £130. Shocked Still, wouldn't mind a nice matching shade of blue for all the other blue highlights I've put on it. Blue & White... Mmmmm.

Looking at the S1000RR HP4's wheel colour, NICE.

Marker pen discolours and will need topping up often. Petroleum based anything will remove it like it wasn't even there

Alternatively get a plain gloss black Halfords touch up pen and fix them up like that?

I've tried those pens before, they're fiddly as fuck.

I might just go get them powdercoated cause my mate's been going on about his horrid orange wheels and we might go together, see if we can snag a discount for going as a pair.
