WARNING:
- Damage and possible injury due to improper repair of paint damage to magnesium rims.
- Improper repairs to magnesium rims can result in corrosion, which could reduce the operating strength and possibly lead to a broken rim.
- Replace the rims if there are any defects due to corrosion.

NOTE:
- We recommend the following procedure for repairing paint damage to vehicle rims: If one of the following conditions is met, the rim should be replaced:
- Paint damage down to the base material in the area of the rim spokes, particularly in the section between the rim flange and spokes.
- Corrosion defects in the area of the rim spokes, particularly in the section between the rim flange and spokes.

- Paint damage that extends to the base material may only be repaired on the outer part of the rim flange.
- Always avoid areas sanded through to the base material.
- Surface painting is permitted after Level 2. The topcoat build-up corresponds to the procedure. -> G 8.2.3 "Painting 993 Turbo S/Carrera GT rims".
