Soz i don't have any photos but i refurbed some Oz super T's Myself

Here is a guide though :

Using a hand held grinder i smoothed down all of the curbed marks and rough edges of the alloys

Then using wet and dry sandpaper, i rubbed down all of the wheels

I then coated the wheels with 3 coats of primer

Then i coated the wheels in 3 coats of my colour choice ( Ford Moonshine silver)

Then i added 6 coats of clear lacquer

All the paint and lacquer i used was from halfords in a spray can

I got through about 2 cans of lacquer and 3 cans of paint. Hope this is helpful

lol Baby D , U wont believe this but i got them for 50 quid off ebay

They were in a right state but they werent buckled so i bought them

I spent around £50 on the paint and the centre caps

And £25 quid on a clio fitting kit so overall they cost me £125

And in my opinion they look new !!! LOL

Heres what I did

Rub down the rough edges with 1500 wet & dry

Fill any damage with P38 metal filler

Rub down filler with 1500 wet & dry

Apply 6 thin coats of primer then rub down with 1500 wet & dry

Apply 6 thin coats of chosen colour and rub down with 2000 wet & dry

Apply 6 coats of laquer, let cure for a week then rub down with a compound paste and finally polish

Jobs a good un:approve:
