Default Calling all VOLK Time Attack Owners!

So it finally happened. Last night, I was pulling into a Rite Aid in Alhambra. Just like a typical wreckless L.A driver, I was chatting away on the phone while trying to make an attempt to pull into a very tight parking spot and all of the sudden I heard, "cCcCcCCrreAAk". FACK, curbed my wheel.

So I dropped off my car this morning over to my friends at www.dtmautobody.com. Mia was able to have her painter match the red paint perfectly. Big thanks to Mia as well, I dropped off my car about 2 hours ago and theyre already finished.

Now my question to you Time Attack owners is; would you guys be interested in purchasing touch up paint for your Time Attacks? Consider the fact that the Time Attacks are discontinued so if you curb a wheel, its not like you can order another one. Here is the finished pictures after the repair...

Well you cant use bondo to fill the rashes and they cant sand it down too much. Trust me, it looked a lot uglier before they fixed it. What they did was just sand it down as much as they can to smoothen everything out, than touch everything up. You can still see 2 of the rashes but Im fine with that. It looks a lot better than when it went in.

Actually you can fix the curb rashes. I fixed mine at home. Part store have this metal putty used for rims. It hardens and is very strong. You can sand it and paint over it as well.

I didn't take any pics of the before and after but I can certainly tell you it works.

also if they're paint matched, it'll be tougher when you need more.
