Wheel refurbing, again - declantg - 25-04-2013
Quick questions really.
Sanding all the paint off my wheels, but so I really need etch primer? Or can I just use normal? As no where sells it near me, unless I go halfrauds 10 miles away.
They are the vts alloys
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - silverzx - 25-04-2013
The only thing worth doing with VTS wheels is:
Step 1: Poundland sand paper
Step 2: Poundland primer
Step 3: Poundland paint
Step 4: Poundland lacquer
Seriously though, it doesn't matter all that much, standard primer will be fine!
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - declantg - 25-04-2013
Haha FYC
Nice one, am bringing the paint completely down, making sure it's all smooth so hopefully won't be a problem
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - silverzx - 25-04-2013
The pic of the one wheel you've put up looks very well done.
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - declantg - 25-04-2013
Still got loads to take off on it
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - silverzx - 25-04-2013
The edges look like they need more work and the wheel itself looks like its showing signs of damage, it definitely isn't round anymore!

Not sure if trolling :/
Yeah I'm still doing the edges ATM, pita

Haha.
Seriously, they look like they've hit the kerb a few times!

Previous owner, I stay well clear of nasty kirbs!
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - silverzx - 25-04-2013
Can you imagine that: "I know, I aim for kerbs when driving - YOLO".
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - declantg - 25-04-2013
Well it was a woman!
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - Oil-burner - 25-04-2013
You would have got away with it if you werent taking all the paint off!
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - 306Puggy - 25-04-2013
Use etch primer! I used standard primer on my wheels and they are all f*cked up again! The paint comes off way too easily.
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - Oil-burner - 25-04-2013
See, its not worth skimping on them else you'll just have to do it again!
Normal primer can't adhere properly to bare metal
RE: Wheel refurbing, again - Slam Wagon - 25-04-2013
Whats the primer like under the paint thats on them? If thats alright then just take it back down to that, the i would just put a fresh coat of primer to be sure and then the new paint.
