i am so stumped i drop my shiny GSR blades face down first today.. it has scratches what should i do now?

 

theres not much you can do.........sorry to hear about that.

 

option 1-

take them to a shop where you could have it refurbish

option 2-

spray paint/powder coat them

option 3-

sell them to me for $150

 

Wouldnt sanding it down with high grit get them out? Then polishing/buffing??

It may or may not work depending how deep the scratches are. The OP should post up some pics.

 

They need clear filler or something that can fill curb scratches without ruing the look of the rim.

Works but can be pricey, mine were all flawless and one fell over, same situation. I ate it, you can try to buff them but my guess would be that they are relatively deep like mine. If you want them perfect get em refinished.

 

u can sand that down then paint them black or gunmetal u wont be able to tell a difference and black and gunmetal look better if u wana know how to paint ur rims ask

 

Their worth nothing when you paint them... original/oem is always good.

Thats my bad one, you cant even tell its imperfect

Id just leave it...

so if i have some scratched up and curbed (previous owner!) blades.. should i get them repaired or painted?

 

See thats when most people decide to paint them to their liking, but if you want resale value have them refurbished back to nice oem...

 

you can try sanding it out if the scrathes arent very deep

worst comse to worst you can take them somewhere to have them painted or refurbished

can you get and pics of the damage?

 

Post pics! If it's light scratches, sand and buff with metal polish.
