Firstly I'm not bad mouthing the company that did the wheels, it was a mix up and to be on the safe side, I wont mention there name
So here's my car, wheels looked great until 2 of them were damaged around the rim (long story)
So I took them off and took them to be refurbished. Dropped...
Could have asked me, I sprayed them!
What I did was:
Degreased, sanded down with 600grit wet n dry, plastic primered, sanded 1200grit, primered again, sanded 1200grit, painted, sanded 1200grit, painted again, then today I put on 3 coats of lacquer
Leave 24hr between the primer, paint...
Quick question for spraying bullets DIY
Do you sand down the final layer of paint before lacquering
After leaving 24hrs to harden obviously
Only ask because I did them once, and then sanded down with 1200grit used wet and it made the paint look dull, even after lacquering them, so I...

Looking to have 1 or more of my alloys refurbished, been quoted £75 to do one or £125 for 2 of them (sprayed / laquered)
Have seen the Top Marques will do a full set for £200 (powder coated / baked)
What's the difference between spraying wheels and powder coating them? How does the finish...
Thanks for the reply. It looks like the stickers are on the paint but under the laquer as I cant feel the ends of the stickers on the wheels.
Guess I'll order the stickers and give them to the bodyshop to put on. Are the one's above the right one's for 16" Clio fitment (I guessed pcd100)
Going to have one of my 16" OZ Racing alloys refurbished as it is slightly damaged
They have stickers like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200316681788
Does anyone know if these need to be applied before or after the wheel is laquered after spraying?
Going to drop...
