Wheel refurb inc. respray
Discussion
First time I've ever attempted anything like this but I'm quite pleased with how it's gone/going
Original wheels from my Clio 172, 15" OZ F1s
First wheel is technically the spare as I thought it wouldn't matter if I cock it up or don't like the colour.
Couple of gouges on the spare with some kerbing (not my doing!)
Close up
Sanded it down using 240 grit, then 1200 grit and then filled using 'Metalik' filler. Went a bit OTT with filler but it sanded down ok
Built a ghetto spray booth using 3 cheap shower curtains and some washing line
All done with the primer
Bunged up the bolt holes to avoid getting paint where the head of the nut meets the wheel.
A couple of marks from the kerbing that I've not managed to get perfect with the filler. No big deal, not trying to get them perfect, besides this is the spare.
Applied two coats of paint, about to add another two/three now
