    Wheels.....

    Myself and Dave the interior trimmer have a wee head start today on my wheels....



    Took off the worst one to see how it would turn out....

    So out came the Dremmel, wet n dry, primer paint and laquer...

    I had repaired the scuffs as best I could by the time he turned up then he got to work with the spray cans....





    And the finished result, if I do say myself is so much better than I expected...







    So we did two today and get the other side done tomorrow

    I know some wont like it but the wheels were badly scuffed and they needed repainted,

    Now I've done it once If I feel like a change (not lime green) it only cost £30 and 5 hours work to paint them again lol

    I like, Fraz... I really like.

    I was thinking about getting a 2nd hand set ot T5 alloys, spraying them jet black to match my paint work just to see how it would look.

    Really like the shine that's coming off of yours in that piccy above.

    I only used the wee sand paper bit, its like a barrel shape..... only to flatten the edges, The kerbing wasnt that bad so it coped and only wet n dry'e the face.....

    Sure man no probs

    Dac the paint I used was Vauxhall Anthrecite metalic, means that its readily availible for those arguments with pavements lol Daves car (pic above) is done in a jet black and looks stunning

    Thanx Mark

    Cheers Astro..... See above for the colour and have a look in the discount section at Rochford Tyres for the wheels

    Black car...mmm..........I think a very,very pale Gold. Not in your face like Scoobies but more powdery if you see what I mean.
    A bit like this.
