I got the dreaded text from the wife recently that she had hit a curb with the Tesla Model Y. It's a good thing I kept my cool, because I hit a curb on the other side the following week. :(
This is a video designed to help you cosmetically repair the rim yourself. This is not designed to be a showroom quality repair, rather a quick fix that will allow the rim to look better than it does after hitting a curb.
This video and paint selected are related to the 20" Model Y Factory Issued Induction Rims.
Update to this video:
If this helped you, buy me a beer🍺:
