QUOTE(CyberKewl @ Mar 11 2012, 02:46 PM) hmm ok - does skimming including spray painting or just skimming alone will do the job? Skim only will do since it's just an outer face scratch. But if u paint the rims in black & then do the skimming like what i did (& some others) before, it surely looks much better..u can take a look at the K5 rims as an instance..it will look just like that (only the design is different)

When i did this before..it took 3 days if i'm not mistaken..in this waiting period, u better have 4 spare wheels to move around..or else, find another 3 Fortezens who wanna skim their rims too & everybody take turn using each others spare rims & tires (+ your own spare rim & tire) until the skimming process for all 4 cars finished This post has been edited by izputra: Mar 11 2012, 03:14 PM

Say to him that if u do only 1 rim, it will not look the same as the other rims. Ask him to pay u RM250 & skim the rim 1 by 1.

Hm...I think cannot lo cos I think he sure not agree one cos one rim only damage and even though bring up matter of not match color I dun think this guy will care...scared end up he no pay at all worse. Plus I din make police report cos he promise to pay when back from holiday

PU and ABS are total opposites so to speak..PU is cheaper while ABS is tougher but more expensive...most BK are PU to bring costs down..i suppose yours is PU that's why easily cracked

Whats that? I called him up he said ABS. But does it look like ABS to you? How to see difference? I only hit bump once and scrape the floor a few times (cos of high slope incline). Cannot be so easy rightt? I would expect it to look like what it is now (all scratches).. but to break?
