I have been thinking about how easy it would be to refurb my alloys myself.. there not badly scraped just blistering.. Could i use something like nitromoors to strip it .. I have seen in the big H that they do silver alloy wheel aerosol sprays.. and it got me thinking.. what your thoughts??

all comments welcome

or has anybody done this themselves..??

Personally, I wouldn't risk doing them myself Craig.........

But, it's up to you.......

Even if you manage to get a good finish I doubt it will last more than 6 months before it starts to go again.

but they will be ok for 6 months....

i would give it a go, but would practice on another wheel first

I wouldn't bother with a DIY job, just had all mine done for £180 and they look as new. Mine had been badly kerbed by the last owner Best £180 i ever spent! Get em done right, even my mrs thinks it was money well spent and thats a first!

i wouldnt try and strip them bare
just rub down the bad areas then get a nice match and spray them over
are they polished anywhere?
or are they plain?

what about posting a pic up craig ??

i do mine all the time

i did mine myself ,someone had them powdercoated and they looked w**k. used nitromoors but it took 3hrs a wheel to get to bare ally,took them to work and sprayed them using a good etch primer a bright sparkle silver then 4 coats of 2pack laquer.That was9 months ago and not a blemish anywhere. they put my brother-in-laws standard ones to shame,he wants his doing now.give it a go and good luck!!!
