Wheel refurbing ................ DIY Styleeeeeeeee

Featured Replies

Well went up home at the weekend so one of my mates could get my car on the ramps and give it a good service

So i went at it and refurbed his wheels for him

I just wish id taken before pics to show you the difference!! The lacquer had peeled and the lips were brown, pitted and scored looked absolutely disgusting and chris was getting hacked off with the car, (it hadnt been washed since last year when he bought it!!)

Started out with the nitromoors, then out with the scraper, onto 400 600 800 and 1200 grit sand papers then out with the PC and cutting paste

Final step was PC and metal polish then a couple coats of lacquer

Hes going to send the centres away for powder coating and theyll be done

anyway, i spent all day yesterday doing these so be nice :p lol

Split, polished and centre sat back in on tyre machine

Nice. What colour centres?

I think hes gona go for just the same as they already are, keep the nice clean look and get some carbon fibre BBS centre caps to really finish them off :)

very nice!

quick question, what does PC mean?

i think it means porter cable?? its a big polisher, pretty similar to a grinder

he aint washed the car since last year! no wonder the wheels were in bad shape cars must be looked after! looks like you did a decent job :-D

The paint work still feels rough and there was mould above the tailgate!! ill give it a proper going over next time I'm home, think ill need two claybars to sort it out lol
