Just Referbed My Wheels


Recommended Posts



Nice wheels, both white and black. Did you use a special type of paint for the wheels and calipers? I've got the standard 5 spoke alloys which have kerb marks and are corroded. How did you deal with that, to make them look so professional?

Thanks

Cheers mate, for the calipers I used caliper paint which I got from Halfords and the wheels wer done in hard alloy paint. We basically cleaned the wheels then sanded them and used filler for the kerb marks and skuffs then primed the wheels and then painted and glossed. It's all in the prep mate.

The white looks brilliant & really makes the most of the wheels :D

Have to say I really like the white wheels....

What is it you have done to the Petrol cap part?

Looks kinda funky....

It's called 'sticker bombing' & some people have gone a bit crazy on it :lol:

On some cars, it looks really good, but a mkII Ford Escort? They've ruined that!

Looks like you guys did a great job, the White looks especially good against the red of the caliper, I've got a set of the same shape wheels lying in my garage doing nothing-off a ls220d-thought they'd fit my LS400-they don't!
