Refurbing wheels.

[bongo]

Nice work with the black wheels there and only really skimmed through so appologise if this has already been mentioned. Not criticising as they look very good but just thought I'd mention a few things as I have done quite a few sets before!

Paint wise, 1-2 cans of high build primer is always enough for me, like wise colour coat and then one big can from halfords is enough for lacquer and I've had very good results using that. Etch primer lasts ages too. Sugarsoap wipes and an Oakey Sanding Dust Cloth really help too for preping.

The key I found is rubbing down with as fine as possible each coat, for the final primer I always liked to use 1200 and then 2000 on the colour coat on each coat. Also rubbing down afterwards yeilds amazing results if you can be bothered as wheels aren't the easiest for a machine polisher but Cyclones should be OK.

Etch primer is also essential if taking back to bare metal though you can get away rubbing down to the original primer if no filling is required and go from there.

Hope this helps anyone as just speaking from trial and experience over the years and also a few handy guides on various forums.
