As title says. Was flattening back my wheels yesterday and I'm no where near happy with them. Specially not for a show.
So I'd any one knows anywhere around the 25-30 pound a wheel mark then please let me know. I want them done ASAP before fcs.

Been flattening them back and showing too many marks and cracks. I said I was going to do them last year but want them right before fcs and work ATM is manic.

Bit of a shame tho since you've done most of the hard work!

Used filler primer. With how long they've took me I ain't bothering. Only 1 is really bad others have storage marks on. Don't think any one would notice them but I do an they do my head in already. So I want them perfect.
Will give them a ring in morning. Got a bother couple places to try as well.
Had quotes online but they want £2-300 for them.

Don't see how you've got cracks then just using filler primer, unless you've really laced it on too thick and the primer has cracked?
Na, shouldn't charge no more than 140 really!

Agh I see what you mean now, you've just not feathered it out enough!
Tbh mate I'd nip to Wilko/ BnQ and get a cheap as chips detail sander (small triangular head) buy some different grades of pads and start again!
They look really easy to refurb tbh because of the flat face!
If you need any painting/prep advice drop me a pm!

They are very easy but tbh theres only 1 that's drastically bad. The others I can live with. I gotta get some prices though then decide.
