Wheel Colour change

[Jonff]

Finally got my arse in to gear and did something about my wheels. Two of them were curbed due to a fail I had in the snow and the lacquer was bubbling. Managed to finish the last wheel today with assistance from Seb (Sofaboy). Cheers mate

Pictures aren't the best as they're taken with my phone.

It's the prep work that's the pain in the arse, my 1st time with a rattle can and it hasn't come out to bad, pictures do hide a few imperfections lol.

Yeah still really happy with the Konis, get yourself to a NW meet and you can have ago of it and see what it;s like

thats the best colour combo imo

what colour is it exactly?

It's Ford Graphite Grey, premixed colour from Halfords.

Yeah, let all the air out of the tyres on and covered them up with heavy duty duck tape.

cool, and how did you get brake dust, etc off? just a good scrub or did you sand it off?

 

[Ash87]

good job, who much it cost for paint etc roughly? i need to do the F1's i just got.

 

[DB.]

Good effort. Id always be too scared to do it myself!

Nice job that, the prep is such a pain, but the result is always rewarding

The wheels were pretty clean to begin with really but yeah just wiped any loose dirt off and sanded the rest of it off.

Ermm spent about £50 on materials I think it was.

I was abit worried how it might turn out, so I just sanded one wheel down at 1st and sprayed it. Could always practice on a spare wheel 1st?

Agreed, during the process I was sorry I'd started it but now it's finished I'm glad I did.
