Looks like a good job from the pics mate!!! Excellent effort.

 

[Adam]

good effort matey...
would have an attempt at mine but bit scared on the colour match.

 

[Mike_SE]

thats great mate. maybe that would be a handy thing for a sticky guide? im sure quite a few ppl would appreciate that!

 

[ollie_yesclio]

nice mate, dont think id dare do that myself. good work

 

[dannyboy172]

Thats great mate, deffo agreee with Mike, would like to see a how to. Thinking of doing my standard alloys now!

 

[riche]

[Dan Page]

lets see a detailed pic when they are done?

good work, looks a proper job.

just make sure you dont let any hamsters get to the wheels again!!

 

[Fatboy_fat]

Good work fella, kinda wish I'd kept them now........

 

[The Big Yin]

what did you use to remove the scoring on the rim ? Looks mint i'm inspired now , just need a set of wheels to try it on.....

 

[DH_GTI]

wow lookin good have you not got to use high strenght laquar (spl) so that u can clean them with the acid cleaner and stuff,

 

[V1NNY]

looks good mate, good job

 

[bigmaddaz]

Alright , thanks for comments! was up till 3am sanding then woke up at 9am to continue! Just finished priming the other 3 wheels, have to wait for that to dry then can lightly sand then apply top coat.... then tmrw some time I can apply clear laquer to them all!

the guide I used was:

[Urban]

Nice m8, there looking really well loads of effort and time! Well worth it lough! Gj!

 

[bigmaddaz]

Finished the top coat on all wheels now, only laqeur left to do either l8a on tonight or tommorow and ordered sum OZ carbon fibre centre caps off ebay because ones I got are slightly corroded

 

[riche]

I was gonna say get some carbon centres

Gonna look sweet mate! top job!

Rich.

 

[ant]

you doing all that in the front room??????????

 

[bigmaddaz]

Haha, no mate , was doing it in garage but was cold... so brought everything into back lounge to do sanding but all spraying was done in garage.

 

[jonnyboy]

good stuff fella, cheaper (and more rewarding) than getting chips away out, how did you match the colour or have you sprayed the whole wheel?

 

[bigmaddaz]

Yes mate... firstly had wrong colour... then spoke to Fred and he said it was a Ford Silver of some sort, went to halfords and bought "ford strato silver" was perfect match! No only sprayed just rim and the odd spoke then sort of blended it in a bit... gotta go laquer in a bit

 

[bigmaddaz]

sum new pics... still gotta be lightly sanded then laquered but pictures of them all sprayed:

 

[Ian_182]

Great effort mate.More rewarding than spending £65+on a wheel from an indipendant re-ferber

[bigmaddaz]

Yea was gonna laqeur them tonight but think its safer to leave them over night then ill laquer them tmrw... cant wait till they are on the car now

 

[clio head]

wanna do my valver turbines....... he he

 

[The Big Yin]

What did you use to fill in the dents etc...

 

[bigmaddaz]

Yin... was called metal epoxy in a tube... kind of like blue tak you have to knead it together then let it set for about an hour or so then sand it down, but get as rid of as much excess as you can first because its hard to sand down!

 

[Gaz_]

whats with the masking in the middle?

 

[Flamered12]

^^ Its got OZ or something painted around the middle hasn't it?

 

[bigmaddaz]

Yea got OZ round middle... its all gone a bit wrong ... I think I should of sanded it down with wet after final coat of silver.. now applied 3 coats of laquer today and its gone a bit rough! so think im gonna ave to sand it down a bit get it real smooth down to silver paint level.. then apply laquer again.
