It's just that mine are scratched to bits and need done


I'd kurbed one of my old 3 spoke alloys on the rim, and bought a new one. Kept the one i'd kurbed for a spare, but decided to try and do something with it to tidy it up. Sanded the whole of the surface of the alloy with 800 paper. on th ebits where the kurb had marked the wheel, i removed all of the paint, and went doen to the bare metal. Used some body filler id got and simply put that on to smooth the dents. Doesnt sound the best i know, but got it all sprayed up and laquered, and then got the tyre put on and balanced, and it was fine... doesnt even need any weights now :lol:

Do Halfords not stock it? I think our local motor factor place keeps it, I'll have a look.

Anyone know where you can buy it from in spray form. My wheels need a refurb, and doing it myself, so thinking of refinishing them in Hi power silver, ratehr than normal silver again. Anyone know where I can get the paint?
