... to get repaired?

I have curb rash x4 AND gravel chips on the rear wheels; how much damage can a refinish repair? What is the process? Do they add new material and then smooth/finish it back down? How long to get it done? How well does the repair work hold up (like new)?

Im Not Too Sure How They Would Repair Them. I Know With Chrome They Smooth Them Out And Re-dip Them But That Only Lasts So Long. Sorry

If it's important to you that the rims look good, then A. buy another set and keep these for spares, or B. just spend the money and have them refinished.

My DD black Bulitts are getting powder coated as we speak. 55$ each. I filed the curb marks out before i dropped them off.

what did you fill them with

if the rash isn't to deep, you can use a file and smooth it out, then the powdercoating will fill in the imperfections. I'll start a post with my wheels, got 2 of them back today.
