Vorsteiner Carbon Graphite Wheel repair

uberschnell · 02-18-2017, 09:37 PM

Curbed my VFF 103 and when I called around no one would commit to a perfect paint match when repaired.

I decided to do it myself and in searching found the perfect paint match for a DIY

You need Dupli-Color Perfect Match BTY1619 Magnetic Gray Metallic and Rust-oleum 2X Ultra Cover Satin Clear

The paint is an exact match, even down to flake size

Below is the repair, keep in mind this is a blend and not a full re-spray

Excellent job sir!

thanks for the heads up.

Can you take a picture of where the actual scratches happened? By taking a picture from afar, we couldn't exactly see where it happened. Unless we really couldn't even from a close up.

Here is a larger picture, the entire edge in the photo is curbed - i don't mess around when I curb a wheel

You did a great job on this. How'd you go about finding the exact match?

Luck actually. Took a photo into the store and bought all the paints that appeared to match

This one is pretty straight forward. I'd also watch a video on how to blend spray paint in case you do not want to repaint the whole wheel.

Exactly what i was looking for? how many quotes of paint followed by clear?

I'll do a light one at first, followed by two medium coats. same for clear.

Did you full the instructions in the youtube video you posted or should I just do it directly?

The instructions are generally what most people use. As for painting I follow the directions on the back of the paint can. Are you doing a full respray or just blending it in? Two different techniques.

The goal with blending is to no create a solid transition line between the new and old paint.

This video goes over the basics on how to blend. Key is to not go heavy to avoid runs and solid lines

Very nice repair job...I can't see anything in the "after" picture.

Do you have a few pics of these on the car? Debating right now between the 103's and the 107's...also provide specs please. Much appreciated.
