    Does anyone know if the JCW 105 alloys can be repaired if they have been kerbed?

    It's the JCW burnished with black cavities ones.

    Watching a set on eBay just now and they have some kerb marks and some area's where the lacquer has come away. Does anyone know if these problems can be fixed on this type of alloy?

    if it was me I would get all the lacquer taken off the shiny bits and get them polished. They will look much much much better that way.
