Using instructions

Before use, carefully read and observe the warning texts on the label!

Application

  • First clean the rim using a wheel cleanerpresto Wheel Cleaner is especially suitable for this. Ensure you thoroughly remove brake dust, dirt and any possible loose paint, as well as any protruding aluminium around the damaged area. For optimum results, ensure there are no residues of polish or wax. Rinse thoroughly with water afterwards, and allow the rim to dry completely.
  • In order to avoid sanding marks on undamaged areas around the damaged spot, please mask them. If you leave the tyre on the rim, it can be a good idea to let the air out, in order to make the work easier.
  • Now smooth/deburr all the damaged area’s uneven areas using P80 sandpaper. Then remove all sanding residues.
  • Please wear the enclosed gloves when mixing and filling the damaged area. Cut off the required amount from the Alu-Repair-Stick and thoroughly knead the mass with your fingers for about a minute. (As soon as the mass assumes an even, dark grey colour, it is ready for use.)
  • Apply a slightly oversized amount of the filler material to the damaged area, and form it using your fingers.
  • Remove any surplus filler material immediately, and allow the mass to dry for around 1 hour.
  • Once the mass has hardened, sand the filler material using the enclosed P80-grain sandpaper until the repaired area has the same even surface as the rim. Then remove all sanding residues. If, after sanding, any dents or unevenness remain, repeat steps 4–6.
  • The use the P600 and P1200 sandpaper to wet-sand the repaired area, to smooth the surface and achieve an ideal base for the subsequent painting. Then remove all sanding residues.
  • Allow the rim to completely dry (possibly with the help of a hairdryer).
  • Carefully mask off the areas around the repaired area that will not be painted. To do this, it is advisable to fold the adhesive tape over to avoid a paint edge. Protect the rim from spray mist of the filler with masking paper.
  • First prime the repair area using the enclosed presto filler. Before you do so, shake the can for 2 minutes and spray a small test area. Now apply the filler in 1–2 thin coats, from a spraying distance of around 25cm.
  • After the filler has fully dried (2–4 hours at 20°C), you can remove the masking paper and apply the enclosed presto wheel spray (The spray paint is a common silver aluminium colour. If, however, you require a different colour, please contact a local DUPLI-COLOR/presto dealer.) First shake the can for 3 minutes and spray a small test area, in order to compare colours. Now spray several thin coats, from a distance of around 25cm and at intervals of 3–5 minutes. To protect the metal pigments, the paint can be sealed with for example presto 2-coat clear varnish (not included in the set).
  • After allowing around 60 minutes’ drying time, remove the adhesive tape and allow the varnish to harden for 24 hours. If required, the repaired area can be polished after 2–3 days.
