DIY Wheel refurbs help.

[DrewMcLovin]

I have a set of 172 alloys on my back garden in preparation to go on to my shed when they're ready.
A few are scuffed and kerbed, and granted they need new tyres anyway, but at £80 for 4 i'm not complaining.

Give me body filler and i'm fine, but i just wanted to know, whats alloy wheel filler like?
Hard to use/messy/just plain s**t?
I saw some this morning, E-tech one, for about a tenner. It comes as a paste.
Wondered if anyone had done refurbs themselves and could give me a few pointers?
+ also, is there much point painting the inside of the alloy, as in the one that isn't shown?
All help appreciated, cheers.

Hey bud when i did mine i used isopon bumper filler i think, no problems with that and it was only 3-4 quid i think, my first refurb i did paint the inside of the alloys but theres really not much point after about two weeks it was black and grimy so you couldnt really see it anyway! Hope that helps

What grade sand paper did you use?
Thats what i was thinking about the inside of the alloys too.
