Hubcap scratch!!!

[Buckethead]

Damn it!!! I hit the curb, and it scratched the rear right wheel hubcap.

What to do???

Buff the hell out of it?


Nothing major, it just pisses me off!

:mad:

[kaymm]

i got scratches on my hub caps. But i'm like whatever... they're just caps man. I might be a bit peeved if they were rims.

[hasher22]

buy new ones? arnt they like $30 for 4?

[BulletProofAuto]

buy some wheels ;)

Dude... the car is totalled.

You may as well sell it for scrap now.

[nsmitchell]

Try to contact someone who replaced their steel wheels with alloys. I had 4 steel wheels and hubcaps, but I gave them to someone already. Maybe someone here would ship them to you for a fee (shipping+handling)?

Just a suggestion...

I scatched my OEM wheel covers pretty badly, but if you want it "fixed" get new ones. Obviously not from the dealer cause they'll charge you up the ass for some plastic cheap covers...what I did is go to any auto parts store and they should have some decent covers for pretty cheap...of course they have the super ghey plastic spinners, but spare yourself then again I'm sure you know better...otherwise if you have the $$$ go for some alloy's or rims! Or just take off the covers and go with the steelies. YAY! Just some suggestions, hope that helps!:thumbsup:

Νice chance to get rims!

If they are the 15" covers, someone is selling them individually on ebay. I just sold a set of four.

Mine were removed few days after i got the car... PERFECT condition. Make me an offer, I may just consider selling them. :smile:

I saw some hub caps on a chevy the other day and I thought they were rims! Anyone know where to get ones that look like that?

[Violin]

I don't know... can you hum a few bars?

[SimmZ]

Well... the four hub caps of my Echo was badly scratched everywhere! I just sand it rapidly, then use the KRYLON Plastic Paint (silver) who dry in 5 minutes and BINGO! Four like brand new hub caps for a 5$ can (I use a half-can for 4 hubs caps). This paint give a kind of "satin" finish who is really awesome. It look better than stock!!

[regulus]

I 'echo' this. Whenever I get a scratch on the hubcaps, I just sand it down and spray it with silver spray paint.

Thanks man, ill give it a try and see how it looks :thumbsup:

Yes, My mother drives a camry and she likes to hear the scraping so she knows she is close to the curb! LOL I wet sanded out the light scratches and went to wally mart for krylon. The pain dude there told me to use the 99cent off brand, He was very adamant about it I used the cheap stuff and it was a perfect match and it says for plastics. The krylon I'm sure would work well, but it matches so well I only had to do the scratched one.

[jonr0613]

same here...got some scratches on my front left hubcap...

[vodkalush]

what color or paint # did you guys use to touch up the scratches?

[bigsky2]

People, they're hubcaps!

Take them off and run your tires with the Steel look.
It makes you look like you auto-x a lot too.

Hi Chris 07LB!
I ran into a curb and cracked the the drivers side 15" 8 spoke factory hubcaps, both front and back! Are you still selling your caps? If they the 15" 8 spoke factory caps, I would pay you $100 for all 4!!!

[d2dailly]

when i get my car im taking them off when i get it home...lol i love the look of steelies expecially shiny new steel rims. they will be for sale when i get it
not sure which ones im gettin though

[greatcar]

I work at a toyota dealership, there is a guy that comes in and takes care of cigarette burns and tairs. He also does hubcaps. See if your dealer near you has the same kind of person. sorry for the spelling mistakes
