alloy refurb....colour

[sontino]

after some advice/help on these alloys i have bought. Got these Tsw Pace alloys, but they need a refurb. They are in black currently but need refurb so should i spray black again after rubbing down etc, or does anyone know how to make these alloys silver again (how they were from new). Here is the pic of how they are now....

heres how i would like them to be....

so what do i do......??

Don't waste your time stripping them mate. Tidy any grotty areas, spray with primer, flat and respray until satisfied then add a top coat and lacquer.

cheers thats great..... i could use that wurth paint then maybe, i wondor if it would match the TSW paint......do TSW sell theyre paint??

what shall i do about oversrapy? i cant just do the face of the alloy as they are already black...

to avoid overspray on the face...would this work?
do sides (where tyres would be) then back, then the face,

that sound okay to anyone??

 

[sontino]

with a multispoke alloy like this, will it be hard to spray everywhere....what shall i do about overspray?

should i just do the back, then sides (where tyres would be), then the face of the alloy to avoid nasty overspray on the front? i dont think i can just do the face as the alloy is black atm.
