Refurbed my wheels

[parksy340]

took a while to fill and get prep sorted out best spending a lot of time on this to get perfect

really pleased with the finish and cost me about £70 with all the paint laquer etc

Looks like a job very well done. Looks great mate

 

[alfa27]

did u put any lacquer on them once u sprayed them?

looks well

 

[Zen1]

Excellent finish. I've had similar results in the past myself spraying my own wheels (2-3 coats of paint & laquer)
Problem is, they seem to chip and scratch a lot easier than powder coated wheels.

A professional powder coated finish is more even, durable and is not that expensive.
Recently I got all four shot blasted, stripped and powder coated for £35 Each.

Good job though =D>

 

[parksy340]

yeah 2 coats of paint and 3 laquer after i primered them. come up well for doing them in back garden \/

Not bad at all fo a DIY job.

Who did that for you or was it at mates rates? I've enquired with mine and got a quote of £280

just letting the tyres wear down on the front so can get new ones on before swap them over nearly there now

They look spot on mate!
What spray did u use, and where from?

 

[parksy340]

[parksy340]

just a few with them on also got new rubber on them and impressed with the 070

The car looks cracking, love the contrast between the wheels and the CW body + the red outs at the back really finish it off.

 

[Jalapeno]

They look amazing for a DIY rattle can job. Also liking the contrast with the CW.

Very nice =D>

 

[Edy]
