"this is my wheels unscuffed £595 quid without tires and i have fooked them up. I must restore mine as ill never be able to throw that money at some new ones and i love them lol"
"ive refurb my own alloys before. helped my cousin spray his white. sanded filled primed colored laqured. cost about £40 in total and about a weeks work. but they looked mint. just remember to let them dry for about 4 or 5 days. to make sure its dry properly as you dont want brake dust eating them and dont over do it with the paint less is better as you can always add more. rather than having to sand em again if u add too much. just give it light sweets left to right releasing the spray thing every time you stop the can.. im sure someone will say im wrong but its how i did it and they looked spot on after no chips or blobs or nowt"

"but dont rush it if your doing it on your own take time sanding and filling and let it set properly. then do a coat of paint at a time and give it plenty of time to dry properly with each coat. add primer leave it over night to dry then colour leave that over night etc ect"
