Hello i was pumping up my tyre and i noticed what looked like black paint or like someone has drawn a line with a black permanent marker on the chrome lip of my rim, it is shiny and black does not feel like a scratch cos if i run my finger over it i carnt feel it at all but it looks like a black mark on the chrome lip, the lip is also slightly dipped in so if i got too close to something the scratch would be on the bit that sticks out more and not the bit that dips in, i tried to clean it with solvents and then with polish but nothing removes it. And i just dont understand why it is black for cos it is on chrome and as i said you carnt feel it at all running your finger over it, so does anyone know why it is like this? and how do i fix it

I'd say its painted chrome which is usually painted over a black base ,in which case the paint has scuffed through....I have a wheel the same, is painted black chrome...you can't really fix it though you could try repaint the area, it might come up ok.

btw the way carnt is not a word, the word is Can't , its an abbreviation for can not ;)

lol and i now know what the black is, it bugged me on how it hot in the lip cos the lip is dipped in on the middle and i have worked it out, it is not paint that came off and black under it, someone had rubbed there tyre onto my rim and that is rubber transfer cos it can be scratched off with an abrasive and its chrome under it but no solvent will touch it at all for some reason, and using abrasive will take the clear coat off which im not worried about cos i have white stone chips all over the clear anyways so looks like i have to polish all the clear coat off all the chrome and thats a massive job

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
