	as for the guide, its well easy sand down the top coat, if there is some scuffs or scrapes then fill em with body filler, then just spray as you would anything else. then get em rebalanced.

Wanna do my sxi alloys in anthra and if it only costs about £20 i'll do it!! no was just showing different shots of random wheels.2 wheels had pirelli tyres 2 with goodyears.there are more piccys in my garage [Edited on 28-01-2004 by chewbaccaman]

Paul H	posted on 28th Jan 04 at 11:34
	bought some more sxi alloys for £60 with nearly new tyres just for when it goes to vaux after all the hassle with my 17's.was pretty scuffed but thought for £60 can't go wrong anyway had a go at fixing them what do you think.
