The best video demonstrating each step for fixing curb rash damage for a Tesla rim! Great job!

You can usually find a mobile repair guy thru a tire center or used car department of a dealership. They will fix it at your home or dealership for about $125 per wheel. It’s not cheap but at least it will look brand new. They use power polished and matched paint using air sprayer. Perfection

I agree. I would not want to see any residue from the repair either. It's worth it to have a professional wheel person fix it.

Wow, super, terrif video! Thank you so much. I had some curb rash on my T3 rims. After watching the video, dashed to the auto store and collected the paint. Then I went to work on the rims! I checked them out this a.m. and they look great. It is definitely saving me a lot of money. I also ordered some rim tape to minimize future curb encounters!

Wow! That’s fantastic! I have the 20” wheels. I need to find which paint matches those.

@MTNRanger 5 лет назад

Thanks! From what I have seen, this is a fairly good match for the 19" & 20" sport wheels: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073QYFBK1

you should use higher grit sandpaper for a smooth finish.

@MTNRanger 4 года назад

Yes I mentioned I purchased 2000 grit sandpaper.

Hi You said after 20 mins that bondo is dry.. I applied it for more than an hour and it still looks and feels fresh

@MTNRanger 3 года назад

Humidity makes a difference. In your case, it will take longer.

@dagestanifive 4 года назад

NEU-106E is the paint code for the wheels

@MTNRanger 4 года назад

I just looked up that code and saw it is for the Model S 21" wheels. I can't find any reference for Model 3 wheels. Do you have a link?

@dagestanifive 4 года назад

Tesla Tips by MTN Ranger that’s the right code for model 3 wheels for sure

@wayne6xxx 4 года назад

if the bondo still shows, over the paint, how do i even it out?

@MTNRanger 4 года назад

Lightly sand the bondo until it blends in with the surrounding paint.

@AwesomeBlackDude 5 лет назад

Should I also put painter tape on the tires?

@AwesomeBlackDude 5 лет назад

Okay I have spoken too soon or in this case post it to quickly

@MTNRanger 5 лет назад

It's not a bad idea to cover the tire. If you are careful with the paint, you shouldn't get any on the tires. The bondo should rub off if you get any on the tires.

@@MTNRanger appreciate the info
