its not the best job in the world but ive spent so much time preparing it building it up with filler primer and sanding it. luckily there other 3 are already refurbed mint just need paint scoring with sandpaper and spraying.
anything opinions please
thanks kent

leave them as they are - they're looking real nice! any glitter would just go eughhghghhg
Re: opinions needed? - declantg - 02-04-2012
Leave them, they look sweet
Re: opinions needed? - Grant - 02-04-2012
From what I can see in the pictures, it looks like you have done a mint job of them mate. Congrats.
IMHO glittery paint will look naff. Personally I wouldn't do it, but its not my car so...
They look fresh like that, maybe ask someone to photoshop for you? (I am crap on photoshop lol)

Thanks all. It's not a mint job if I spent a bit more time sanding
Them I may of got them better. But you can only notice close up. But I'm more than happy with it
. Going to laquer it tomorrow if I have time. Going to put it in my down stairs toilet as there's a radiator in there and it's small so it should harden nicely over night.
Re: opinions needed? - Grant - 02-04-2012
Definately let it harden. I left mine one night then had the tyres put back on and rebalanced, and the twat in the tyre garage took a chunk of paint out of one of the spokes. Luckily its not too noticable... Willl touch it up soon
Spoke at 2 o'clock

Re: opinions needed? - 4WayDiablo - 02-04-2012
Should have got them shadow chromed :-)
Re: opinions needed? - Grant - 02-04-2012
How did you find sanding and spraying with the tyres still on? I found it much easier to have them taken off, but cost a fair bit more... Could you still get good coverage around the rim? :giggedy:
Re: opinions needed? - 4WayDiablo - 02-04-2012
Best way ive found is letting the tyre down a bit and wedging playing cards in the bead :-) worked perfectly
Re: opinions needed? - Grant - 02-04-2012
I found it helpful to be able to run sandpaper all around the lip of the rim, something I couldn't do with the tyre in place. But then who ever owned my wheels before me had kerbed them quite significantly so i suppose thats why....

I thought of shadow chrome but couldn't fine any cans of it. I think I might pay for refurb next year see how they turn out.

Re: opinions needed? - THE_Liam - 02-04-2012

Oh cheers for that Kingy. Might get them to do it then. Was going to have a trip down to kris b as he seems to charge great price but might as well go Saxo parts for that price. My mate who I went to speak to at MFN last night at dark side dubs he said hell fit and lower coilovers for me anyway

To answer your question i took a picture today when I took paper off tyre.

And as for masking there was no point. Tyre is covered. Any idea how I can get the paint off the tyre?
opinions needed? - kentiiboii - 03-04-2012
Just to let you know they look better than the picture. Think it's just flash and angle.
Re: opinions needed? - mark_airey - 04-04-2012
There is a point to masking, you just have to do it properly, if you don't then you might as well just not bother as you have discovered
As for getting the paint off the tyres, paint thinners will do it, just make sure you don't get it on your nice newly painted wheels!
opinions needed? - kentiiboii - 04-04-2012
Cheers mark. And you can only tell on the pictures looking at the wheel you won't notice. Going to trying letting them down next.
