I'm A Fag (is what revels will say)

[Dave..]

So this is part 1 of 2...

Been travelling all over Derbyshire today collecting things and having wheels stripped of tyres.

Managed to primer up all 4 superleggs today, paint shall commence tomorrow. Who knows what colour though

Removing the wheel weights and glue was a pain in the arse... much tar remover was needed.


errrrr not sure what happened here....

and one to show the finish so far in primer. Nice and smooth for paint :approve:

 

[Jon.G]

Looks like they're going an amphasite colour from the cans you've got

Firstly why didn't you pull the valves out? and secondly did you mask the part of the bolt holes where the wheel bolt collar/shoulder contacts the wheel?

Meh, no ones going to see under the valves, and the paint will be removed from the bolt holes and mating face of the wheel, I'm not an idiot

 

[Revels]

Great wheels. Good purchase. Good work. Good primering.

GAY COLOUR!!

You have no idea what colour they will be yet?

I'd have done it on the logic they'll throw new ones in when the tyres are fitted and balanced anyway, as for the latter part this is CS so it's worth asking these things lol

I'd hope they fit new valves tbh, but as I looked at these and saw that the design meant they're pushed in, but can't be pushed back out, I couldn't be arsed with cutting them.

 

[SC03OTT]

Hero wheels. Turinis can GTFO.

Those tins of paint I tried to hide? Could be anything tbh, but definately not white.

Ford Graphite Grey quite possibly, looking at the colour on the label. Better not ruin those supers' though

 

[D4N13L]

Great wheels, getting rare now.

Definately not ford graphite grey, I'll tell you that much.

Its a terrible colour, i refurbed a set of turbines in it and wasn't a fan

Bit too dark really, hence why I didn't choose it. Colour i've gone for is a bit.... Brighter?

 

[jenic]

They aren't white so they can only get better tbh.

White + Inferno sucks.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Nice wheels. Why not powder coat them? I bet you nearly spent £50 on paint. Time and effort etc. You could get them done for a tonne

 

[Gray]

I love your spray booth LOL.....

 

[sideways danny]

I know Gay colour tbh, gonna just look dirty. White was correct. Fail. Again.

 

[Gray]

My exact words to him.....

Our local powder coaters charge £20 for a 15" wheel

 

[Christopher]

LOL. Yeah, I would've got them PPC'd too. Especially considering the cost nowadays.

 

[Addz]

You'll only bin it into a curb again when you've done them.... x

 

[The Boosh!]

I don't know about being a fag but you're an excellent area rep x

Fook me. That's prepped too? Awersome price

 

[Dave..]

Saved £50? Plus I like doing work myself, that way I know the jobs done right. Addz sent his wheels back and forth to the powder coaters and each time they came back cracked and still in "primer" grey. Doing it this way is much more satisfying.

I love your spray booth LOL.....

Epic isn't it. God I feel unwell :dead:

wwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(i believe there was a t in there as well somewhere?)

Go away x

Ouch? I've hit no curbs in my car thanks transit van

I don't know about being a fag but you're an excellent area rep x

One of my many great skills in life.

 

[Addz]

Yeah after my experiance with powder coating i'd sooner paint my wheels with a roller tbh.

Where is this place? Might save me a job if I get some more wheels.

 

[Rob]

Best wheels, ever.

 

[daveski]

Would also like to know where the place is so I can get my F1s done in the summer

 

[Dave..]

Gentlemen, I present to you Rover Stone Grey (Metallic) 300ml.

Just got to sort out the runs :dapprove:

 

[Whiteley]

Are they lacquered? Halfords rattle can lacquer is crap

 

[Cliotoby]

Are they lacquered? Halfords rattle can lacquer is crap

f**king w**k isnt it lol.

The paints fine.

 

[Dave..]

Not lacquered yet, just come inside for some food while the paint dries.

 

[Whiteley]

Flat the runs back with 1200 wet/dry and give them another coat of colour after. You'll not tell when theyre lacquered.

 

[Whiskerz16v]

nice colour that.... will consider it for the valvers now

 

[Dave..]

That's the plan!

Pain in the arse trying to get all the spokes covered, but avoid getting too much paint on them and running :dapprove:

 

[Dave.]

look great dave!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Should of taken the valves out, when the tyre place rip them out to fit new ones it'll crack the paint around the valve hole.

 

[Rob]

I was about to say the same thing ^

Also, Re: the runs, more coats, thinner coats.
