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.

know this sounds odd but in the spraying pic the wheel has agoodyear tyre on and in the finished pic it has a pireli tyre on! is this becuase you put the goodyear tyre on to paint them then switched back or are they just two different wheels?! if so howd u get the paint if the tyre?

Wanna do my sxi alloys in anthra and if it only costs about £20 i'll do it!!

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.
