Rim painting (alloy wheel refurbishment) gives scuffed, kerbed or faded wheels a fresh look at a fraction of full replacement cost. Here’s what UAE garages charge for this service in 2026.

What’s Included?
A full rim paint job typically includes sanding down the scuff or kerb damage, applying filler if needed, priming, painting in the chosen colour, and finishing with a clear lacquer coat. Colour changes to diamond-cut or two-tone effects cost more and take longer.
Is Rim Painting Worth It?
A single replacement alloy wheel in the UAE can cost AED 800–AED 3,000 depending on the brand and size. Repainting at AED 100–AED 200 per wheel is almost always the more economical choice for cosmetic damage.
